SUMMARY: The former D.D. Williamson plant faced air quality violations related to inadequate documentation and an incident last October where food coloring leaked, affecting neighboring properties. The Air Pollution Control District, which oversees numerous companies, noted that violations are common but emphasized the importance of returning to compliance. In response to the issues, the company rectified record-keeping problems and implemented a new internal surveillance system to monitor equipment more effectively. A financial penalty is involved, but the focus remains on ensuring compliance rather than solely punitive measures.

The controversy reflects ongoing GOP criticism of JCPS.

SUMMARY: Good Friday morning! It’s a gray start, but thankfully no heavy rain like yesterday. While Richmond experiences dreary skies, most areas remain dry with only patchy drizzle. Today’s weather will be cloudy with temperatures in the mid-50s. The system that caused the rainfall is moving out, and high pressure is on the way, promising sunshine by Saturday afternoon. Overnight lows will drop into the lower 40s, possibly upper 30s in some areas. Next week, expect increasing clouds Monday, scattered showers Tuesday, and a cold air surge bringing the potential for snow flurries by next Thursday.

What’s that? Next week? Is that a blast of winter air on the horizon?
Is there moisture in there with that frigid of air? Could that mean snowflakes could fly? Stay tuned!
