U.S. Steel gets permit for $100M slag recycler at Edgar Thomson Works

BRADDOCK, Pa. — United States Steel Corp. said it received the permit it needed from the Allegheny County Health Department to begin work on a $100 million slag recycler at the Edgar Thomson Works in Braddock.

The new slag recycler is part of Nippon Steel’s $11 billion-plus investment into U.S. Steel, which was made possible by last June’s $14.1 billion acquisition. It’s separate from the $1 billion hot strip mill that U.S. Steel will build at the Edgar Thomson Works in the coming years.

“The slag recycler is the first U.S. Steel-Mon Valley Works project to receive regulatory approval after the company’s historic partnership with Nippon Steel,” the company said.
