Paint emissions from the new Jeep plant in Detroit that drew complaints from residents are now being ducted through required controls, the plant manager said this week in a letter to the state of Michigan.
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy in October filed a violation against the Stellantis NV plant on the city’s east side after an inspection found it was missing the ducting required by its air-quality permit. The equipment, whose installation was completed on Sunday, sends the emissions through a regenerative thermal oxidizer control that helps to destroy potentially harmful pollutants.
