Trump EPA delays Ohio steel plant pollution rules to 2027, citing costs, despite health risks.
New federal rules to reduce air pollution from Ohio’s steel and coke plants, set to take effect in July 2025, have been delayed until 2027 by the Trump administration’s EPA.
The regulations, finalized in 2024, would have tightened limits on harmful emissions, including carcinogens like benzene and chromium, and required better air monitoring at facilities such as Cleveland-Cliffs’ Middletown Works and SunCoke Energy’s Butler County plant.
Residents have long reported health issues and environmental damage from pollution, with Butler County ranked among Ohio’s highest for environmental health risks.
Industry groups cited technical and financial challenges, including higher costs than the EPA’s initial estimate, while environmental advocates warn the delay endangers public health.
Public comment periods on the revised rules are open through October 6 and October 3.
