Burger King Corporation

Problem

Burger King franchises in Southern California were facing costly fines for violating visible emissions mandates set by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) due to a lack of effective, reasonably-priced control technologies.

Solution

On behalf of the Burger King Corporation, CEA negotiated an agreement with SCAQMD to suspend violations during the search for cost-effective control equipment. CEA worked with the client, SCAQMD, and equipment control manufacturers to identify and test alternative control technologies.

Result

SCAQMD suspended fines during the search for control equipment and agreed to a two-year technology implementation period. Burger King franchises were given an opportunity to meet regulations in a cost-effective manner with proven, available technologies.
