ALLIED ALLOYS - Pulp and Paper Facility in Houston, Texas

ALLIED ALLOYS is a pulp and paper facility situated at 6002 DONOHO ST in Houston, Harris County, Texas. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS code 322121, which corresponds to paper (except newsprint) mills. This places it within the broader industrial utilities sector, focusing on the production of paper products from pulp. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces multi-media environmental regulations including the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Section 313 reporting. As a pulp and paper mill, it is subject to specific effluent guidelines and air emission standards. The scale of the operation is typical for a paper mill in the region, which can range from medium to large depending on production capacity. Pulp and paper mills are significant industrial utilities due to their high water and energy consumption, as well as their potential environmental impact. The facility's location in Houston, a major industrial hub, places it within a dense network of chemical and manufacturing plants. Its operational significance lies in its contribution to the regional paper supply chain, serving downstream industries such as packaging and printing.

The pulp and paper sector is known for its high water usage and potential for water pollution from process effluents, including organic compounds and suspended solids. Air emissions may include particulate matter, sulfur compounds, and volatile organic compounds. The facility's proximity to Houston, a city with a large population and industrial base, increases the importance of stringent environmental management. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) ensures compliance with permits and emission limits.
