Yes Bette, there is a Santa Claus and his name is STEVE LANG – a leftover from the George Ferreri days. ”Severstal spokesperson Bette Kovach said in an email that the company has not been cited for pollution violations, “nor do we expect to be. Steve Lang, chief of MDE air quality compliance,” blah blah blah!
FACT — Lang has been looking after air quality at Sparrows Point for at least the last 20 years or so – just ask Ralph Hall – Lang once said that he did not know where the KISH falling over Dundalk and Turners came from, Steve never saw or heard of the stuff while he was at the plant??? – for years he suggested it came from BG & E across the Patapsco River from the plant and the wind blew it over Dundalk , Edgemere, and Turners- Ferreri agreed with him. The tax payers have been paying Lang’s salary all these years to look after the plant’s interest -just ask Hoopman and Mendelson – when cornered, Ferreri said do not blame me and Lang, blame the polictians for putting the heat on MDE. Lang knows more then he let’s on – just ask reporter Pat Williams and the lady on Sparrows Point road with the clogged swimming pool filters – Steve remembers her!

I am tired of the dirt and games, I am on my way to Oak Lawn – thanks for the ticket Steve!

When you are going to purchase your new furnace then there are lots of things that you have to keep in mind like you should ask about gas furnaces size and you should also ask about its warranties.

Observer123 your commenting on an event that occured when Severstal owned the “Point” and was cutting every corner they could. Im sure i could dig up some dirt and recycle it about Warren, Mingo, Wheeling…….pick one of the Ohio Valley plants.

This plant is a toxic waste dump. I know – I worked there. The heavy metals alone present in the soil and leaching into the river are beyond comprehension. Now I work for the evil energy company that just spent 1 billion dollars on a stack emissions scrubber system. Why we have to do this, and the unionized in the pocket of the worthless democratic Maryland government gets a pass on this? Its all about the money. Shut this plant down, we will all be better off as residents of MD

Also the cinders landed on my porch and all over my home and vehicle… it was not small in size…maybe the particals that come out of the furnace should be tested because our home is always covered with residue

The explosion rocked our home, the smell was unbelievable I had to take my 4 yr old child in the house and shut the windows, we lived thru the experience and it wasnt pleasant to say the least, my child still wakes up at night scared because of the explosion. I am certain all things were not released publicly, heck they didnt even release it to the press til hours later… They still blast that several times at night more than during the day… it is a loud unpleasant experience when you live close to the plant ,we are accross the watercould you imagine living on north point road… I am glad someone showed concern over a 3 minute incident we all should have lots of concern of this plant its polution to our environment and our health… thank you a concerned neighbor

Mr. Reutter. I spoke to my engineering sources who have actually designed, built, operated, and maintained complex industrial and pollution abatement equipment and they told me that the bleeders were properly designed for the function assigned them. It was a matter of safety that the remaining three were not attached to pollution abatement equipment. The designers did not watnt to produce a bonb.

I also expected you to state that you stuck by your sources when I challenged them. It was curious that you did not unless they were fictitous or unreliable.

Further, I consulted my sources at the Maryland Department of the Environment regarding the actions which you attributed to Steve Lang. When asked if Lang has contemplated doing what you said at that time the answer was a resounding NO!

Now, I am a reasonable person and I am willing to allow you the opportunity to prove yourself by producing the alleged document you have that proves Lang’s actions. I thought it odd that you did not at the time link to it since you linked to other doucments to prove your case.

Again I ask why all of the concern over a three minute incident in which no one was harmed and there was no environmental damage. Perhaps too much time on your hands or is it the old traning from the Sun and Post to revert to muckraking when there are no facts to suuport your bias?

I eagerly await the production of the documents.
