Summary

EPA is issuing a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) commencing and concluding an action against Spectro Alloys Corporation (Spectro) located in Rosemount, Minnesota, for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The CAFO alleges that Spectro failed to limit PM emissions to 0.40 lb/ton of feed/charge from its Furnace #3 and failed to operate Furnace #3 in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions, in violation of the NESHAP for Secondary Aluminum Production at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart RRR. These violations stem from a fire which occurred at the Furnace #3 baghouse on July 23, 2017 as the result of scrap coated with a volatile fluid being fed to the furnace. The CAFO requires Spectro to pay a penalty of $27,400.
