BUSINESS LICENSES, from page 36 Continued on page 44 EnerSys fined by EPA for Clean Air Act violations in Springfield by SBJ Staff · sbj@sbj.net Reading, Pennsylvania-based EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), which in 2019 took over two NorthStar Battery plants in Springfield, has been fined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for alleged Clean Air Act violations. The EPA has reached a settlement with EnerSys to resolve allegations of federal Clean Air Act violations at EnerSys’ two Springfield plants and a facility in Warrensburg, according to a news release from the agency. EnerSys has agreed to pay a $430,500 civil penalty and spend an estimated $250,000 in compliance costs as part of the settlement. “In addition to allegedly violating the Clean Air Act, EnerSys Energy’s facilities are located in communities determined by EPA to be disproportionately affected by pollution,” said Jodi Bruno, acting director of EPA Region 7’s Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Division, in the release. “This settlement represents the commitment by EPA and the Biden administration to protecting all communities, especially those overburdened by environmental harm.” An EnerSys spokesperson provided a statement to Springfield Business Journal. “This settlement relates to an alleged violation of reporting requirements. EnerSys has taken actions to improve and automate its reporting processes,” the statement reads. “We remain fully committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate.” The EPA alleged in settlement documents that the EnerSys facilities have emitted lead as part of their manufacturing process. The EPA reportedly found that EnerSys failed to report when the facilities’ emission control equipment operated outside of the appropriate pressure range during inspections in 2022 and 2023. EnerSys also failed to report what corrective actions had been taken, according to the EPA. EnerSys’ Springfield plants are at 4000 E. Continental Way, in Partnership Industrial Center, and 1320 N. Alliance Ave., in Partnership Industrial Center West, according to the company’s website. EnerSys took over the plants as part of the 2019 acquisition of NorthStar Battery parent company N Holding AB, according to past reporting. • “The 6% target has historically shown itself to be reasonable and is in line with several of our other commercial service airport clients in southern Missouri,” Hutsell said. “Each area of the state has variable demographics and different availabilities for DBE consultants, contractors and suppliers, which is why the FAA requires each airport sponsor to set their own goals independently.” Hutsell said the federal diversity target benefits the airport by developing additional contractors and professional service providers who are familiar with the work required. “This can ultimately lead to more qualified contractors and professional service providers for the airport’s future endeavors,” he said. Creative opportunity Latimer said the FAA recently announced a requirement that airports develop a small-business program for concessions. Plans are due to the agency Oct. 7. “They told us to be creative, which is great,” she said. Unlike the DBE programs, the small-business program does not require certification or disadvantaged status. “It’s just general outreach to small businesses,” Latimer said. “I think it’s really neat, because it gives us an opportunity to work a little more hands-on with small businesses.” Latimer has been hatching an idea to allow businesses to sell their merchandise at the airport, though she stressed the concept is in the very early stages. Potentially, she said, it will be a program where vendors contract with the airport directly instead of being a wholesaler or supplier to an existing concessionaire. “I’m picturing handcrafted stuff – Springfield-specific stuff, Ozarks-specific stuff,” she said. The model she envisions is like a farmers market, with small businesses selling their own wares. The vendors would provide their own staffing and their own point of sale. The FAA does not allow local preference for the program, she noted, but since business owners or staff would have to come in and sell items themselves, local businesses are likely to be the ones involved. “I doubt we’re going to get anybody flying in from Chicago,” she said. “In practicality, they will likely be local people, if my idea gets approval.” When she spoke to Springfield Business Journal in May, Latimer was working on the idea as a class project through Drury University’s graduate certificate program for diversity, equity and inclusion. Latimer said she has enjoyed having an opportunity to devise an idea she described as “kind of funky.” “I’m really passionate about this stuff,” she said. “I never thought I’d go to school again after law school, but it’s been incredibly interesting.” • DBE: FAA announces small-business program Continued from page 8
