The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
Attorney General Josh Kaul announced a settlement with Kerry Inc. requiring it to pay $85,000 to resolve violations of Wisconsin’s air laws related to its operation of a liquid smoke manufacturing facility in Manitowoc. The settlement was approved by the Manitowoc County Circuit Court on July 11, 2024.
“As this case shows, Wisconsinites can help address air pollution by reporting potential violations,” said Attorney General Kaul. “Thank you to everyone who is helping to keep our air clean.” The State alleged that Kerry Inc. violated multiple requirements of its air operation permit, including that Kerry Inc. did not observe the opacity of its air emissions, did not test the carbon monoxide concentration in its air emissions, and did not operate air pollution control equipment within the parameters required by the permit. Kerry Inc. also did not timely report these violations to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), as required by the terms of its permit.
The settlement requires Kerry Inc. to pay a total of $85,000 in forfeitures, surcharges, and court costs.
