The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with J&J Cores LLC on alleged clean-air violations at the company's secondary aluminum production facility in Newcomerstown, Ohio. EPA assessed a $1,000 penalty.
The agreement resolves EPA allegations that from April to June 2008 J&J Cores failed to continuously monitor and record temperatures of the afterburner that controls hazardous air pollutant emissions from its sweat furnace. The company uses the sweat furnace to reclaim aluminum from automotive, household and manufacturing breakage scrap.
