Clairton was declared a financially distressed community for 27 years under Pennsylvania’s Act 47 municipality recovery law until it was removed from the list in 2015.
The Title V operating permit for Clairton Coke Works plant expired on March 26, 2017. The plant will operate on an expired Title V permit until Nov. 2022.
The city’s economy started to decline in the 1950s when the steel industry started to also decline.
The first Title V operating permit for the Clairton Plant was issued on March 27, 2012, although the Title V Operating Permit program started as part of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.
The Clairton Coke Works plant was built in 1901 by the St. Clair Steel Company and acquired by U. S. Steel in 1904.
In December 2018, an explosion at the coke works critically damaged the facility’s No. 2 control room, shutting down the pollution control system and causing U.S. Steel to send unfiltered pollutants, including excessive amounts of SO2, into the Mon Valley’s air. Residents weren’t notified for 16 days.
