Industrial services company Harsco Corp (NYSE:HSC) said on Tuesday that the company has entered into a new multi-year environmental services contract valued at over USD50m for the metal recovery and on-site removal of slag stockpiles left behind by a former steel manufacturing plant in Gadsden, Alabama. A This EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) led agreement was executed with overall site manager CMC Inc and the new agreement is seen as a potential model for future cleanup of similar sites throughout the United States. A Under the contract, Harsco will install and operate an on-site metal recovery and slag processing operation that will process an estimated 3m cubic yards of slag materials still remaining from the former Gulf States Steel facility. A In addition, Harsco said that it will recover the slag's valuable metallic content and process the remaining material, mainly for recycling or landfill. A Harsco's operations are expected to commence in January 2010 and create approximately 20 new jobs.
