U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited M & M Drying for alleged clean-air violations at the company's aluminum production plant in Canton, Ohio.
EPA alleges that M & M Drying failed to test for dioxins and furans at its thermal chip dryer and failed to notify EPA of its compliance status.
These are preliminary findings of violations. To resolve them, EPA may issue a compliance order, assess an administrative penalty or bring suit against the company. The company has 30 days from receipt of the notice to meet with EPA to discuss resolving the allegations.
"EPA's mission is to protect public health and the environment," said Acting Regional Administrator Bharat Mathur. "We will take whatever steps are needed to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act."
