The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Del's Metal Co. for alleged clean-air violations at the company's secondary aluminum production operation in Rock Island, Ill.
EPA alleges that Del's Metal failed to test its sweat furnace emissions for dioxins and furans or to install an afterburner to destroy the dioxins and furans. EPA also alleges that the company did not comply with planning, notification and recordkeeping requirements.
To resolve them, EPA may issue a compliance order, assess an administrative penalty or bring suit against the company. Del's Metal has 30 days from receipt of the notice to meet with EPA to discuss resolving the allegations.
