Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland steel plant, also known as Cleveland Works and ArcelorMittal Cleveland steel plant (predecessor), is a 4100 thousand tonnes per annum (TTPA) blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel plant operating in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
Location
The map below shows the location of the steel plant in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
- Location: 3060 Eggers Road, Cleveland, OH 44105, United States[1]
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 41.464041, -81.676499 (exact)
Background
The Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland steel plant began operating in 1913 under the original name of Corrigan-McKinney Steel Co.[2] It was owned by LTV Corp, then bought by ArcelorMittal, then passed into the hands of Cleveland-Cliffs after ArcelorMittal was acquired by Cleveland-Cliffs in December 2020.[3]
Environmental Compliance
In 2008, advocacy group Ohio Citizen Action filed a complaint with the EPA about the blast furnace. The group claimed former owner LTV Corp. nearly doubled the blast furnace's capacity during the 1980s without installing proper environmental controls.[4]
In 2020, ArcelorMittal agreed to pay nearly $5 million to settle lawsuits which claimed that the company had violated the Clean Air Act at three separate facilities, including the Cleveland facility.[5]
