Two Midway firms underwent recent inspections by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and were found in compliance with the provisions of their permits.
The inspections in late July took place at Linde, Inc, which produces liquefied carbon dioxide, and at Yara, which will produce calcium nitrate once its plant is constructed. Those two firms share the site with US Nitrogen LLC.
Linde was notified that no violations were found during the inspection. Its permit was first issued on Jan. 30, 2000 and it was amended several times due to typographical errors.
TDEC told the company that its records were "adequate."
Records reviewed were for the period from July 30, 2021 to July 28 of this year.
"There were no malfunctions of monitoring systems during this period," the report states.
Under the permit Linde can produce up to 90,789 per year but the total produced was 65,358 pounds, the records showed.
Yara, which is not yet in production, was also found in compliance with its permit. TDEC said its records were also adequate.
"No performance tests performed," the inspection report states.
