DEP, Agriculture
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) The Depart
ment of Environmental Protection (DEP) and
Department of Agriculture have issued orders re
quiring Ironite Products Co. of Humboldt, Ariz.,
to cease marketing its products in Pennsylvania
unless it submits within 60 days a co-product de
termination covering the company’s use of mine
waste in the manufacture of fertilizers or an ap
plication for a general permit for beneficial use.
“Ironite fertilizers, marketed under such
names as Ironite 1-0-0 and Ironite Superferrite
Pro Formula 1-0-0, are manufactured primarily
from mine tailings, and they have been found to
contain high levels of heavy metals, most notably
arsenic and lead,” said Nicholas DiPasquale,
DEP deputy secretary for air, recycling, and ra
diation protection. “The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is considering regulating this
so-called fertilizer as a hazardous waste. Several
other states also have taken actions against Iro
nite Products Company.”
“The Department of Agriculture has serious
concerns over two fertilizer products manufac
tured by Ironite, as th£y do not meet the residual
waste requirements of Act 97 of 2001,” said Agri
culture’s Deputy Secretary for Regulatory Af
fairs Bill Wehry. “Under our fertilizer law, prod
ucts containing residual waste must be in
compliance with DEP regulations. We will not
register any Ironite fertilizer products that are
not in compliance with the applicable regula
tions.”
Ironite is marketed nationally as a soil supple
ment and fertilizer for home, lawn and garden
use. It is manufactured primarily from mine
waste from the Iron King mine in Humboldt,
Ariz. The Iron King mine operated as a silver
and zinc mine from the mid-1800s until 1969.
EPA is considering whether to add the 60-acre
waste pile at the mine to its Superfund site list.
