U.S. Steel applied for a permit to install a new hot strip mill at its Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock. This mill, which has a capacity of up to 3,500,000 tons of hot rolled steel annually, will replace the existing hot strip mill at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Plant in West Mifflin. A public hearing was held to gather feedback on the proposed installation.
