MIDDLETOWN TUBE WORKS INC - Primary Metal Facility in Middletown, Ohio

MIDDLETOWN TUBE WORKS INC is a primary metal facility located in Middletown, Ohio, United States. The plant operates under NAICS code 331111, which corresponds to iron and steel mills, indicating a focus on steel production and processing. As an operational facility in Butler County, it contributes to the regional industrial landscape. The facility is subject to US EPA multi-media regulations including the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and TRI Section 313 reporting. Primary metal operations typically involve high-temperature processes such as melting, casting, and forming, which generate emissions of particulate matter, metals, and greenhouse gases. The plant's scale is consistent with medium to large steel mills common in the Ohio River Valley industrial corridor. Environmental significance stems from the sector's inherent pollution intensity, including air emissions from furnaces and water discharges from cooling and processing. Community proximity to Middletown raises considerations for local air quality and water resource management. The facility's role in the steel supply chain supports downstream manufacturing and construction sectors.

The facility operates in the Ohio River Valley, a region with a dense concentration of heavy industry. Primary metal manufacturing, particularly iron and steel mills, is associated with significant air emissions (particulates, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides) and water discharges (heavy metals, process wastewater). The plant's location near Middletown means potential exposure for nearby communities. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act requires permits and monitoring to mitigate environmental impacts.
