What happened
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation issued an enforcement order fining BAE Systems $15,000 for violating state air pollution regulations at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant. The order states that BAE Systems failed to properly document required inspections and maintenance of pollution-control equipment. Additionally, the company had missing monitoring data and failed to disclose certain violations in its original compliance reports.
