Comments Off on PENNSYLVANIA: Copper Smelter Fined Again for Polluting Ohio River PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, August 4, 2021 (ENS) – Hussey Copper, manufacturer of copper for electric power lines and copper-nickel alloys for desalination plants, is being hit with a second big fine for releasing toxics into local waterways. Ordered last year to pay a $550,000 criminal fine for polluting the Ohio River at its Leetsdale smelting operation, Hussey today agreed to settle with state and federal authorities in a civil lawsuit, also over alleged violations of clean water law at the Leetsdale smelter in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Leetsdale, a borough of some 1,200 people on the Ohio River 15 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, once had an industrial manufacturing base, with a Bethlehem Steel mill that closed in the late 1970s. Today, residents and visitors enjoy boating, go-karting, arcade games, a museum, an art center, theater, concerts and shops.
