Center for Biological Diversity: DENVER— A state judge has voided a permit issued by the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division allowing a tanker truck repair shop to emit more asthma-causing air pollution. Polar Service Center is located in a part of Commerce City already heavily overburdened with pollution.
Conservation and community groups sued the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division today for issuing a permit allowing Polar Service Center, a tanker truck repair shop, to emit increased asthma- and cancer-causing air pollution.
The lawsuit was filed by North Range Concerned Citizens and the Center for Biological Diversity in the Colorado state district court in Adams County. The county is part of the Denver Metro/North Front Range area, which, for more than 15 years, has violated the national smog standard set to protect the health of people and wildlife.
The Environmental Protection Agency recently downgraded this area to the category of severe smog problems. And the truck repair shop is located in a part of Commerce City already heavily overburdened with pollution.
