The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has reached an agreement with Spectro Alloys Corp. on alleged clean-air violations at the company's aluminum recovery plant in Rosemount, Minn.
The agreement, which includes a $70,923 penalty, resolves EPA allegations that Spectro exceeded emission limits for dioxins and furans at two of its furnaces and failed to maintain afterburner inspection records for the years 2003 through 2006.
Testing in May 2007 showed that Spectro is now meeting the emission limits for dioxins and furans. Spectro also demonstrated to EPA that it is currently maintaining the required afterburner inspection records.
