SunCoke Energy Inc., its subsidiary Indiana Harbor Coke Company (IHCC), and Cokenergy have agreed to pay $5 million to resolve alleged Clean Air Act violations relating to excess emissions of coke oven gases from their coke plant in East Chicago, Indiana. Cokenergy will also spend $250,000 on a lead abatement project in the East Chicago area to reduce lead hazards in schools, day-care centers, and other buildings with priority given to young children and pregnant women. Under the settlement, the companies have agreed to reduce the amount of time that pollution controls are bypassed. IHCC will also rebuild coke ovens in all four coke batteries at the facility to reduce leakage. If rebuilding the ovens fails to reduce leaks to the required level, IHCC will shut down individual leaking ovens or, at the worst-performing battery, potentially shut down the entire battery. The companies have further agreed to enhanced monitoring and testing requirements, including solar occultation flux testing to measure fugitive emissions following oven rebuilds and two stack tests each to measure volatile organic compounds and lead emissions. The settlement also requires two mitigation measures to improve existing pollution controls at quench towers and the flue gas desulfurization system (FGD). Implementation of the consent decree's requirements will result in estimated emissions reductions of 2,075 tons per year of coke oven emissions, which are a hazardous air pollutant (HAP), of which 18
