Judge throws out state air permit issued to Commerce City company without proper review of pollution

A district judge in Adams County threw out a tanker-truck repair company’s state-issued air permit after two environmental groups argued it had been granted by Colorado regulators without a scientific review to find out just how much pollution would be emitted.

Ukeiley said his group believed Polar Service Centers’ emissions would violate National Ambient Air Quality Standards by releasing volatile organic compounds, benzene and nitrous oxide into the air. The division ultimately joined the plaintiffs in asking the judge to vacate the permit, Ukeiley said.
