The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with Allcast Inc. on alleged clean-air violations at the company's secondary aluminum production facility in Allenton, Wis.
The agreement, which includes a $37,500 penalty, resolves EPA allegations that Allcast melted coated aluminum returned by its customers in at least one of its furnaces without complying with regulations designed to control hazardous dioxin and furan emissions.
EPA said Allcast failed to comply with notification, planning, testing, recordkeeping and operating requirements in the Clean Air Act. The alleged violations occurred between March 2003 and September 2004.
