Proposed Consent Agreement and Final Order, United States Steel Company (PDF) (11pp, 217K) posted January 23, 2012
Description: EPA Region 5 is providing this notice of its intent to file a Proposed Consent Agreement and Proposed Final Order (Proposed CAFO) against United States Steel Company (Respondent) for violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act.
This Proposed CAFO will settle alleged violations at the Minntac West Pit mine in St. Louis County, Minnesota. The Respondent discharged fill and/or dredge material without a permit to wetlands adjacent to tributaries of the West Two River at its taconite mine in Mountain Iron, Minnesota. The discharges at the Minntac West Pit mine impacted a total of 5.2 acres of wetland.
The alleged violations are of environmental significance because the activities resulted in a loss of aquatic habitat, reduced floodwater retention, decreased water quality, and negatively affected the biological integrity and biodiversity of the impacted watersheds. EPA and Respondent have agreed in principle that the Respondent will pay a civil penalty of $161,000 to resolve these violations.
