Manitowoc Agrees to Pay $42.6M to Resolve Alleged Clean Air Act Violations

Dow Jones12-20

By Sabela Ojea

Manitowoc agreed to pay a civil penalty of $42.6 million to settle alleged violations of the Clean Air Act with the Justice Department and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The agreement allows the provider of lifting equipment for the construction industry to resolve allegations the company imported and sold heavy nonroad cranes with diesel engines that weren't certified to meet applicable emission standards.

The EPA on Thursday said that, from 2014 to 2018, Manitowoc imported and sold at least 1,032 diesel engines that didn't meet Clean Air Act emission standards, even after the agency made clear that such conduct wouldn't be tolerated.

Manitowoc also failed to comply with Clean Air Act labeling, bonding and reporting requirements, the Justice Department and the EPA added.

Overall, the settlement requires Manitowoc to complete a project near the Port of Baltimore to improve air quality and mitigate harm from the allegedly unlawful emissions, as well as retrofit a short-line locomotive currently in service in the Sparrows Point, Md., area.

Manitowoc said it has booked a financial reserve for the settlement, and that it releases the company from civil claims.
