No Rebecca. Not Kudos to MDE or O’Malley admin. They are only taking action on this after a third party test of sediment showed inscreased pollution by the plant since its ’97 agreement. The third party org then decided to sure MDE as well as EPA. Then MDE decided they should “take action”

Kudos to MDE and the O’Malley administration. It’s about time our environmental regulators grew a backbone when it comes to cracking down on industrial polluters.
As an eye witness to one “uncontrolled emission” and an “ear witness” to blasts on multiple nights, I can tell you things have occurred at the Sparrows Point plant under Severstal’s ownership that didn’t occur over the past 15 years under three previous owners.
We need strong action to protect our air quality now!

Mark,
This is interesting reading. Please keep up the good work, as the people in the SE area of Baltimore county need to know just what is happening around them. Jobs, but at what costs? More cancer, and other diseases associated with poor quality of AIR or working conditions are not the answers. How many more children will suffer due to hazardous polutants we breathe and are not aware of it?!!

Someone or sombodies must be held accountable for their actions and lack of responsibility for this community. CANCERS, DEATHS from CANCER have affected the area like a ‘PLAGUE’
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? I suggest a SURVEY or STUDY of cancer and respiratory illness’ of the Dundalk, Turner Station, Edgemere, Sparrows Point communities. And, not to omit anyone.
