U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has filed an administrative complaint against M & M Drying Ltd. for alleged clean-air violations at the company's aluminum recovery plant in Canton, Ohio.
"We're proposing a $144,000 penalty and alleging 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," said Acting Regional Administrator Bharat Mathur.
M & M Drying has received the complaint and is in informal discussions with EPA on how to resolve the allegations.
