EPA Cites Sausser Steel for PCB Violations

Region 5 office proposes fine for steel company for failing to label transformers containing PCBs.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has filed an administrative complaint against Sausser Steel Co., for alleged violation of federal rules on PCBs. An $82,500 penalty is proposed.

An EPA inspection this past summer at the company’s Findlay, Ohio, facility found violations of the storage, marking, disposal, record-keeping and notification requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Sausser was cited for not labeling a transformer containing PCBs, improper storage of PCBs, and failing to keep PCB records and notify EPA of its waste handling activities.
