The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has cited Leed Foundry Inc. for violating hazardous waste and water pollution regulations at its iron foundry in St. Clair, PA.
The EPA alleges that the foundry dumped hazardous waste – namely baghouse dust containing hazardous levels of cadmium and lead – on the ground and on an outside concrete pad in violation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
EPA also cited Leed Foundry for storm water violations associated with the dumping. The agency proposes a $175,000 penalty for the Clean Water Act violations and will propose an additional penalty for the RCRA violations after the company presents information on its compliance efforts.
