AK Steel Corporation - Steubenville Intake Pumphouse is a primary metal facility located at 300 South Third Street in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio. The facility is operational and serves as an intake pumphouse supporting the adjacent steel mill operations. As part of the integrated steel production chain, it draws water from the Ohio River for cooling and process needs. The facility operates under NAICS code 331111, which covers iron and steel mills. In the United States, primary metal facilities are subject to comprehensive environmental regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The steel sector is a significant source of air emissions, including particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, and is regulated under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for integrated iron and steel manufacturing. The intake pumphouse plays a critical role in the facility's water management, ensuring a reliable supply for steel production. The Ohio River provides abundant water resources, but the facility must comply with Clean Water Act permits for water withdrawal and discharge. The steel industry in the Ohio River Valley has a long history, and this facility contributes to regional economic activity while operating under stringent environmental oversight.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in the Ohio River Valley, a region with a dense concentration of heavy industry, including steel, chemical, and power generation. The Ohio River serves as both a water source and a receiving waterbody for industrial discharges. The area experiences moderate air quality challenges due to industrial emissions, and the facility's operations contribute to local particulate matter and greenhouse gas emissions. Community proximity is a concern, as Steubenville is a small city with residential areas near industrial zones. The facility must manage stormwater runoff and potential spills to protect the river ecosystem.
