Summary

On September 28, 2018, Region 5 entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) and an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with Falcon Foundry Company (Falcon Foundry) of Lowellville, Ohio. The ACO and CAFO resolve alleged violations by Falcon Foundry of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Area Source Standards for Aluminum, Copper, and Other Nonferrous Foundries at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ. Falcon Foundry violated the Subpart ZZZZZZ requirements by: (1) removing lids from its furnaces and not covering the furnaces during melting operations; (2) failing to prepare and operate pursuant to a written management practices plan; (3) failing to submit an Initial Notification and Notification of Compliance Status to EPA; (4) and failing to keep records and submit deviation reports to EPA. Under the ACO, Falcon Foundry has agreed to make operational changes to return to compliance with the Subpart ZZZZZZ requirements, including the installation of covers on furnaces; operating pursuant to approved written management practices plans; submitting both an Initial Notification and a Notification of Compliance Status to EPA; keeping records; and submitting deviation reports to EPA. The CAFO requires Falcon Foundry to pay a civil penalty of $10,000.
