Northrop Grumman has addressed its environmental emissions permit application for its Waynesboro facility currently under construction.
The new manufacturing facility sits on 87 acres and could employ up to 330 people at full capacity, according to the Northrop Grumman’s website page on the Waynesboro location. The company requested a state operating permit from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which posted a public notice on the application, including a draft permit, to its website.

We remain committed to working with the community to protect the environment and being a strong partner in Waynesboro.”…
