DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Amended Consent Decree Under the 
Clean Air Act

    On March 1, 2021, the Department of Justice simultaneously filed a 
Complaint and lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Indiana in the lawsuit 
entitled United States and the State of Indiana v. Steel Dynamics, 
Inc., Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-86.
    The United States and the State of Indiana filed a complaint 
against Steel Dynamics, Inc. (``Steel Dynamics'') alleging violation of 
the Clean Air Act (``CAA'') at Steel Dynamic's Flat Roll Division and 
Iron Dynamics Division. The proposed Consent Decree resolves the claims 
in the Complaint by requiring Steel Dynamics to install a new 300,000 
actual cubic feet per minute baghouse to control emissions from the 
Flat Roll Division's three ladle metallurgical stations and to take 
steps to improve its recordkeeping and monitoring. Additionally, Steel 
Dynamics will pay a civil penalty of $475,000 to be split even with the 
United States and the State of Indiana.
