U.S. Steel To Pay Hefty Settlement To Clairton Residents

A tentative settlement has U.S. Steel paying $2 million to Clairton residents who have complained of air quality issues near the Clairton Coke Works for years. The tentative settlement in a 2017 class-action lawsuit also has U.S. Steel investing $6.5 million to upgrade equipment at its Clairton Coke Works facility, according to reports. If the settlement is approved, the Clairton Coke Works would have to improve air quality within one year. That includes installing air coolers and battery machinery.
