Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality has confirmed it will target Hollingsworth & Vose Fiber Company for review of toxic emissions this year. The company is located in South Corvallis.
The DEQ has identified 350 companies for in-depth review, and is hoping to analyze about 20 yearly. H&G was selected as one of the first facilities to be reviewed because of its estimated amounts of emissions and proximity to people, including vulnerable populations.
These reviews are part of a new program regulating toxic emissions, Cleaner Air Oregon. If emissions from a facility are determined to pose a risk to human health, the DEQ could revise its air quality permit.
