Enough is Enough!

This is becoming a regular thing – nasty emissions from the Arcelor Mittal / Dofasco meltshop. This one was taken at about 2:20 pm today (Apr 3, 2008). Maybe we should join in with Lorna and the others protesting next time (see http://thespec.com/article/348902) - let's get a mass movement going. Enough is enough!!!!

The Weekend of the Big Race

2008-04-01T11:56:00.005-04:00

If the Around the Bay Race is the oldest road race in North America, you would think it would be honoured appropriately, at the very least by limiting emissions for the weekend for the sake of the runners. As the next few posts will show, however, this was not the case. The tall, black-banded US Steel stack (coke battery 7?) smoked frequently and for long periods of time. There were periodic plumes from Dofasco as well.

Good Friday????

These photos were taken from the Beach Strip in Hamilton looking across Eastwood Drive toward Dofasco Arcelor Mittal. So much for their recent pledges to clean things up. When will charges finally be laid by the Ministry of the Environment? Enough is enough already!

March 10, 2008 - Arcelor Mittal Meltshop

2008-03-11T16:49:00.003-04:00

The same thing from last week, but instead of one big one, today Dofasco let out about ten smaller ones. All had that red colour as in the Spec from last week.
Occurred around 4:30 pm

These were taken just before 8 pm, but these Dofasco stacks were belching most of the day. The build-up downwind on what was otherwise a very clear day was blatantly evident.

Fallout

2007-06-19T15:44:00.000-04:00

Here's what it looked like as the coal came down over Beach Blvd and then moved out over Lake Ontario.
This isn't the first time people in the area have suffered from coal fallout. Here's what happened to one resident's siding this past February.

Not us!!!!

Did you see the article in The Spectator on Saturday? Here it is: "'Coal storm' blows in"
Stelco and Dofasco are trying to deny that it was their coal being blown all over the northeast of the city on Friday June 8, from about 4:30 until 5:00 pm. But check out these pics! Oops! Check out the earlier article as well: "Beach residents take photos"

The results along Beach Blvd.
