MEXICO CITY, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Steelmaker Ternium TX.N said on Wednesday said that wastewater from a plant in Mexico was not a pollutant, after the country's environmental watchdog Profepa said it had ordered Ternium to temporarily halt the flow of wastewater out of the site.
Profepa said Ternium had been spilling its wastewater in a tributary of the Atoyac river without a permit, but Ternium said this was not the case and that the problem with the regulator was over ongoing bureaucratic processes concerning "inconsistencies" in the name of the company on permits.
