Adrian, MI – A representative for Crimson Holdings, an egg-processing facility on Adrian’s east side, responded to the most recent Violation Notice from the Michigan Department of Great Lakes and Energy. Emily Bir, the media contact for Crimson Holdings, told WLEN News in an email Tuesday morning that:
“Crimsons Holdings will respond directly to EGLE and continue working with them to mitigate odors.”
Last week’s violation notice, according to online records, shows that EGLE’s Air Quality Division conducted an odor observation on June 14th in the vicinity of Crimson Holdings.
The notice said that the purpose of the observation was to investigate ongoing complaints which AQD continues to receive regarding foul odors attributed to Crimson’s operations.
EGLE says that, based on their professional judgment, the odors that were observed were of sufficient intensity, frequency and duration so as to constitute a violation of Rule 901(b) of the administrative rules promulgated under Act 451.
The AQD staff detected odors in a residential area near the company and up to 1 mile downwind. These odors were impacting residents and nearby commercial businesses.
Crimson Holdings was asked to give their response to EGLE by July 6th.
