But American Ash has had some minor environmental problems. In September 2000, two American Ash
trucks delivering metal to two steel mills tested positive for containing radioactive materials. Part of
American Ash's operation is to remove metals from the ash and resell it as scrap. The DEP did not cite
the company, though it noted the incident might violate the terms of American Ash's permit.

York Incinerator Ash Pile Concerns State Environment Officials
(PENNSYLVANIA) Two years ago, a pile of incinerator ash near the edge of a neighborhood in York was
growing too large for the state Department of Environmental Protection's satisfaction. At the time, the
DEP told the pile's owner to begin moving it. But today, the pile is more than three times as large.
