The Allegheny County Health Department Tuesday said it Shenango Inc., a coke-producing plant on Neville Island, has been fined $114,000 for "significant exceedances" of air emissions standards and ordered to submit a plan to eliminate excessive fugitive emissions from its coke ovens along the banks of the Ohio River. Shenango has been cited 114 times since the beginning of the year for excessive emissions that contribute to increased levels of fine particulates and hazardous air pollutants. The emissions occur during pushing operations, when hot incandescent coke is removed from an oven and transported to the quenching station," said James Thompson, manager of air quality.
This action finalizes the residual risk and technology review conducted for the secondary lead smelting source category regulated under national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. These final amendments include revisions to the emissions limits for lead compounds; revisions to the standards for fugitive emissions; the addition of total hydrocarbon and dioxin and furan emissions limits for reverberatory and electric furnaces; the addition of a work practice standard for mercury emissions; the modification and addition of testing and monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; related notifications; and revisions to the regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction.
