Jim Heaney tells Scott Levin of WGRZ that Tonawanda Coke has been a rouge operation for years.

The foundry coke plant off River Road was back in the news Monday, when federal prosecutors hauled the company into court and public officials questioned the firm’s conduct after they temporarily blocked firefighters from dealing with a blaze at the facility.

Heaney gave Levin a rundown on the plant’s troubled history, including violations of the Clean Air Act and worker safety violations.
