EA-1743: Final Environmental Assessment
Air Products And Chemicals, Inc. Waste Energy Project at the AK Steel Corporation Middletown Works, Middletown, Ohio
Air Products And Chemicals, Inc. Waste Energy Project at the AK Steel Corporation Middletown Works; Middletown, Ohio
DOE issued a final EA that analyzes the potential environmental impacts of awarding a federal grant to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. to facilitate construction and operation of a waste energy recovery plant at the AK Steel Corporation Middletown Works.
DOE prepared this EA to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act; Public Law 111-5, 123 Stat. 115) financial assistance grant to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (Air Products) to facilitate construction and operation of a plant to recover waste energy at the AK Steel Corporation (AK Steel) Middletown Works in Middletown, Ohio. DOE’s Proposed Action would provide $30 million in financial assistance in a cost-sharing arrangement with the project proponent, Air Products. The total cost of the proposed project would be about $315 million. Air Products’ proposed project would construct and operate a combined-cycle power generation plant that would capture and process blast furnace gas to produce electricity and process steam. Air Products would build the plant on AK Steel’s existing Middletown Works site, which manufactures cold-rolled steel products.
