Penalty, Plant Upgrades Total $21 Million In Erie Coke Settlement With State Agency

摘要

Erie Coke Corp. and its owner have paid Pennsylvania $6 million and will spend $15 million to bring the company's Erie, Pa., foundry coke production facility into compliance with federal and state environmental requirements under a settlement announced June 17 (Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection v. Erie Coke Corp., Pa. Commw. Ct, docket number unavailable, filed 6/14/10). The proposed consent decree, which is subject to Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court approval, reinstates Erie Coke's Clean Air Act Title V permit while the company follows a legally binding timetable for upgrading its facility.
