Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland steel plant, also known as Cleveland Works, ArcelorMittal Cleveland steel plant (predecessor), LTV Steel (predecessor), is a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) steel plant operating in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Cleveland, Ohio, United States:
- Location: 3060 Eggers Road, Cleveland, OH 44105, United States
- 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.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3]
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.[4]
