    The EPA lists 11 total smelters in the US, 5 of which are noted as "operational", and 6 are noted as "idle".

    Edit: you are looking at production facilities, and not smelters. "Roller mills", rebar stock plants, and the like are not the same as steel smelters.
    Edit edit: US Steel has 2 operational smelters, 8 'non-operational', and 2 'idle' .
