further obligates Shenango to install
certain interim measures at its
wastewater treatment plant and, after
issuance of a new and revised National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(‘‘NPDES’’) permit, to install biological
treatment in the wastewater treatment
plant. In addition, Shenango will pay a
civil penalty of $1,750,000 to resolve its
violations of the Clean Air Act and the
Clean Water Act. The Allegheny County
Health Department (‘‘ACHD’’) and the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (‘‘PADEP’’)
are co-plaintiffs with the United States.
The Consent Decree resolves civil
claims for violations alleged in a
Complaint filed concurrently with the
Consent Decree. In the Complaint,
Plaintiffs allege that Shenango violated
regulations of ACHD, which are
incorporated into the Pennsylvania
State Implementation Plan (‘‘SIP’’),
because Shenango had visible emissions
in excess of those allowed under the
ACHD regulations, from charging, from
the door areas, from offtake piping, from
pushing, and at the combustion stack. In
addition, Plaintiffs allege that Shenango
violated the limits on flaring, mixing or
combustion of coke oven gas. Under the
Clean Water Act, Plaintiffs allege that
Shenango violated the effluent
limitations in the NPDES Permit issued
to it, that Shenango also discharged
polluted stormwater without
authorization into the Ohio River, and
that Shenango failed to properly operate
and maintain its wastewater treatment
plant in violation of the terms of its
NPDES permit.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the proposed Consent Decree.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and either emailed to
