Sturgis Iron and Metal Co., Inc. (Sturgis) is a scrap yard that operated a sweat furnace subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart RRR (Secondary Aluminum NESHAP). In December of 2004, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) conducted an inspection at Sturgis and discovered the subject sweat furnace. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Sturgis failed to monitor, notify, and keep records while operating the sweat furnace, as required by the Secondary Aluminum NESHAP. IDEM referred the enforcement case to U.S. EPA. When Sturgis became aware of the violations surrounding the sweat furnace, after IDEM inspected the facility in 2004, Sturgis ceased operating the violating furnace. Upon negotiations with the U.S. EPA, Sturgis agreed to permanently discontinue use of its sweat furnace. Due to Sturgis' willingness to cooperate and permanently discontinue using the furnace, therefore ceasing further dioxin and furan emissions into the atmosphere, U.S. EPA is settling this matter for a penalty of $29, 059.
