EPA issues consent orders to 3 Minnesota scrap firms
Tuesday, 10 Nov 2009
The US Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has issued administrative consent orders to three Minnesota scrap metal recycling companies, namely Leroy Iron and Metal Division of Behr Iron, Alter Trading Corporation and Timm's Auto Salvage.
The companies agreed to comply with EPA regulations designed to protect the stratospheric ozone layer at their scrap metal recycling facilities.
The companies have agreed, among other things, to recover ozone-depleting refrigerants from each appliance and motor vehicle air conditioner that they accept or to verify that the refrigerants have been recovered according to EPA regulations. The companies will keep logs of the details of refrigerant recovery.
