Part of the production process for aluminum coils manufactured by Logan Aluminum for the beverage industry results in the emissions of potential pollutants such as dioxins and furans, hydrogen chloride and particulate matter.
As per the consent decree signed with the Department of Justice on behalf of the US Environmental Protection Agency, along with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Logan Aluminum needs to install an emission control device called a baghouse for one of its furnace’s capture/collection systems.
The proposed consent decree lodged in the US District Court for the Western District of Kentucky on 8 December 2010 resolves claims of the US and the commonwealth under the Clean Air Act and related provisions of the laws of the commonwealth.
