AM/NS Calvert, a massive steel processing plant about 35 miles north of Mobile, will plead guilty to violating a provision within the Clean Air Act, court filings show, after a 2017 inspection revealed the company had failed to report that it had not taken proper measures to reduce chlorine emissions from its acid regeneration facility.

“AM/NS Calvert, LLC failed to notify [the Alabama Department of Environmental Management] of information that would have shown non-compliance under the facility’s permit, as required under the Clean Air Act,” the plea agreement between the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Alabama and AM/NS Calvert states.
