Environmental Responsibility
Tube City IMS installs, modifies and operates its facilities
to comply with applicable environmental regulations. By adhering to the Tube City IMS
policies on environmental criteria, training and auditing procedures, Tube City IMS
operations achieve compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations. The site will be assisted with these environmental compliance
programs by Tube City IMS corporate staffs that have experience with regulators and steel
mills throughout North America.
Tube City IMS will secure all necessary permits to install
and operate emission sources under its control. All solid and oily wastes and
hazardous material are managed in a manner that complies with applicable solid
and hazardous waste statutes.
Hazardous Materials
There will be no
underground storage tanks at Tube City IMS. All above ground petroleum product storage
tanks have secondary containment. All petroleum wastes are disposed in
compliance with state and federal requirements. IMS has a current Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan, which addresses the storage
of petroleum products and used oil. A major focus of the plan is the prevention
of spills and leaks as opposed to "after-the-fact" clean up. It focuses on
training, and it specifies measures, which should be taken to contain, protect,
secure and respond if there is a leak.
