The Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) and Jarvis Tree Service, Inc. (“JTS”) entered into a May 22nd Consent Administrative Order (“CAO”) addressing alleged violations of a General Air Permit. See Case #: CAO-25-0076.
The CAO provides that JTC owns and operates an Air Curtain Incinerator in Heber Springs, Arkansas.
The site is stated to operate pursuant to a General Air Permit for Title V Air Curtain Incinerators (“Permit”).
The following violations are alleged:
- Failure to perform the initial or subsequent testing prior to the 180-day deadline at the air curtain incinerator, violating Specific Conditions 25 and 26 of the Permit.
- Submission of two Semi-Annual Monitoring (“SAM”) Reports that used the wrong form and contained none of the required data, which violates General Provision 7 of the Permit.

A civil penalty of $3,000 is assessed.
