A Pittsfield printing company, Interprint Inc, has agreed to shell out USD 80,000 as penalty and spend USD 305,000 to replace old, polluting wood stoves in Western Massachusetts. They will be replaced by cleaner models such as EPA-certified wood stoves or gas or propane heaters. This is in settlement of claims by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that charged Interprint with violating the federal Clean Air Act. The company will provide USD 1000 worth vouchers to each household to encourage replacement of the pre-1988 wood stoves.
