The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has cited Allcast Inc. for alleged violations of federal hazardous air pollutant emission standards at the company's secondary aluminum production facility in Allenton, Wis.
EPA alleges that Allcast failed to do performance testing on one of its furnaces used for melting coated aluminum returned by its customers and that it failed to comply with notification and recordkeeping requirements. The alleged violations occurred between January 2002 and September 2004.
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. Allcast has 30 days from receipt of the notice to meet with EPA to discuss resolving the allegations.
