The Allegheny County Health Department reminds Mon Valley residents of a public hearing being held at 6 p.m. today regarding the department’s draft settlement agreement with U.S. Steel.

The hearing will take place at the Clairton Municipal Building, located at 551 Ravensburg Blvd..

ACHD announced early this month that it would be holding the hearing after receiving several complaints from area residents who said they wanted to have their sentiments about pollution issues at Clairton Coke Works documented in some form of public record.

The hearing allows comments to be entered into the record, which will have equal weight to any written comment received by ACHD during this public comment period that ends Wednesday, according to Public Health Information Officer Ryan Scarpino.
