U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with Aluminum Recovery Technologies Inc. on alleged clean-air violations at the company's aluminum recovery plant in Kendallville, Ind. EPA assessed a $100,000 penalty.
The agreement resolves an EPA administrative complaint filed last September alleging that ART had released more dioxins and furans from its plant than is allowed by federal regulations.
ART made operational changes at the plant, and follow-up testing showed compliance with dioxin and furan regulations.
"We are pleased that ART moved quickly to bring its dioxin and furan emissions into compliance with federal regulations," said Acting Regional Administrator Bharat Mathur.
