A company could apply for an Environmental Permit, but need to halt work or production due to the wrong permit being acquired, or the wrong level of output allowed. This can result in a loss of production or sales, high unutilized labor cost and equipment rentals. These events can cause the skyrocketing of the cost of production and demolishing any thin margin that might have once existed.
Heavy fines could result if the levels of output exceed the threshold set by the Environmental Permit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) takes this matter extremely seriously and does not allow for overage. Particulates in the emissions must be continually measured to ensure that levels are not dangerously high.
Most of the Environmental Permits applied for are overwhelmingly to release emissions into the air. These levels are closely watched due to the devastating effects that air emissions can have on the surrounding environment. Acid rain could result from a high concentration of certain particulates in the air. The acid rain can destroy crops or property, as well as injure or kill people and animals in the surrounding community.
