AK Steel, Dearborn plant sold to Ohio-based company last year
Environmental advocates allege Clean Air Act violations, harm to nearby residents
AK Steel
AK Steel and its Dearborn Works steel plant were purchased in 2020 by Cleveland-based Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.
The Sierra Club and Environment Michigan intend to sue Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. over alleged federal Clean Air Act violations at its Dearborn plant near the border with Detroit.
The advocacy groups and their legal team on Wednesday sent required 60-day notice of its lawsuit plans to the Cleveland-based iron ore pellet producer, which bought previous Dearborn Works plant owner AK Steel in March 2020.
