The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) on Thursday issued a demand for more than $75,000 in stipulated penalties against U.S. Steel for air quality violations that occurred at its Clairton Coke Works facility.
The demand letter, dated Thursday, is for charging, soaking, visible emissions and other violations that occurred during the first quarter of 2023.
“Same as it ever was,” GASP Executive Director Patrick Campbell said. “U.S. Steel pretends to be a good neighbor, yet its Clairton plant racks up tens of thousands of dollars in violations. Not surprised over here.”
GASP staff is reviewing the demand letter now. You can check it out here.
