The investments will result in the reduction of emissions in 4 specific parameters. 

More than 10 million of the program funding will be invested by the end of 2010. 

The remainder will be phased in over the following 4 years. 

The projects include a variety of equipment upgrades aimed at reducing coke and by-product plant emissions. In addition 1.5 million of the program will be invested in abatement of road dust. 

An Open House detailing ArcelorMittal Dofasco's action plan will be held tonight, at the Royal Canadian Legion at 1180 Barton Street East from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
