# Arkansas DEQ Orders Hot Springs Air Compliance

Arkansas’s Division of Environmental Quality entered a consent administrative order with AAR Component Services - Hot Springs, LLC concerning alleged air-permit and recordkeeping violations at its aircraft-parts coating and repair facility in Hot Springs. The order assesses a **$22,000 civil penalty** and requires the facility to demonstrate permit compliance and submit specified 2025 generator, maintenance, and pH records within 30 calendar days of the order’s effective date. This is an environmental enforcement action, not a solicitation or contract award.

- Aircraft-parts buyers and prime contractors can account for the order in supplier due diligence and oversight of coating and repair facilities.
- The compliance demonstrations and records requirement applies to the named facility; the signal does not state the order’s effective date, so the 30-day submission deadline cannot be calculated from the information provided.
