The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 and Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corp. have agreed to a $70,703 penalty to resolve alleged hazardous waste violations.
The company failed to maintain and operate its Cambridge, Ohio, facility to minimize the possibility of hazardous releases.
EPA inspections in 1999 and 2000 found hazardous waste stored improperly in leaking, open and unmarked containers. Shieldalloy also failed to conduct weekly safety inspections and carry out the provisions of an emergency spill contingency plan.
The facility produces metal alloys from used petroleum refinery catalysts.Latest from Recycling Today
