"Since July 2004, there have been twenty-five violations at the Lehigh facility that resulted in the issuance of twenty-three Notices of Violation by the District. The violations can be characterized as emissions-related, administrative, or permit-related in nature. There were fifteen emissions-related violations; most were issued for excessive visible emissions of dust or smoke from various facility sources."... "The two permit-related violations documented unpermitted material stockpiles."..."Lehigh has been in intermittent compliance...there is currently no ongoing violation, or pattern of recurrent violation, that represents ongoing noncompliance."
