AdvanSix has confirmed a March 13 incident at its Hopewell, Va., plant in which state and federal authorities executed a search warrant. It said plant production across the company’s sites was not affected and the company expects to continue safely operating at plan moving forward.
While the company is still working to determine the reason and nature of the actions, it says they appear to relate to the facility’s environmental air emissions and its compliance under the previously disclosed 2013 consent decree with the federal government and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The company said it is cooperating fully with the authorities.
