MADERA, Calif. (AP) -- One of the country's largest glass container makers has agreed to pay a $140,000 fine for violating federal air regulations at its Madera wine bottle plant.
The fine by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stems from a 2005 settlement in which Indiana-based Saint-Gobain Containers Inc. agreed to pay $929,000 for air pollution violations at the bottle manufacturing plant. The company agreed to spend more than $7 million to control emissions as part of the EPA settlement.
The EPA said Tuesday that Saint-Gobain was fined for failing to comply with monitoring, record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Clean Air Act.
