The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has issued a final permit to ESSROC Cement Corp., allowing the company to burn hazardous waste in its cement kilns.
The Logansport, Ind., facility, stores hazardous waste in fuel tanks and containers, then burns the waste to produce cement.
The EPA permit sets limits (331.8 lbs./minute) on the amount of hazardous waste that can be burned in each unit and requires the use of an automatic waste feed cut-off system that stops the waste from entering the kilns if operating conditions are not met.
