Tennessee environmental officials say recent emission reports submitted by a Greene County chemical firm show the company has remained in compliance with state regulations and the conditions of the company permits.
In a letter issued today, Bryan Parker, an environmental manager with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, said the data from US Nitrogen for the first two quarters of this year was "technically correct" and acceptable under agency standards.
The reports detailed six months of nitrous oxide emissions for US Nitrogen's steam generating boiler and nitric acid plant in Greene County.
Parker wrote that the reports showed that at no time during the period were nitrous oxide limits exceeded for either the boiler or the acid plant.
In the letter to Dylan Charles, US Nitrogen's plant manager, Parker also stated that the data showed the company's nitrous oxide monitoring systems achieved the 95 per cent operational availability level required.
These represent the second set of emissions data from US Nitrogen that TDEC has acknowledged and found to meet permit standards in the past two weeks.
The prior emission test results were submitted following on-site testing at the Midway plant on June 8 and June 9.
