Update: Mittal Steel just called about the message I left last week. They checked out the ramp and determined that the substance isn't one that the steel mill uses, and suggested that it might be from one of the asphalt companies that also operate in the valley. They also put in a call to ODOT to come look at it. I guess I should have been a little more patient. Calling the Good Neighbor Line works!

This morning, on my way to work, I saw three huge flares from the steel mill. So I made sure to report that to Ohio Citizen Action using their online pollution log form.

I also called their Good Neighbor Help line [216.429.7300] last week because all the coke spilling out of the trucks on W. 7th is melting and getting on my car and in my tire treads and trash is sticking to it. Although they say you'll receive a phone call back, I've yet to hear from them. Additionally, now that summer is here and I'm keeping my windows open, I'm getting lots of silver-grey dust blown into my apartment. All these anecdotes are just little reminders to report pollution when you see it, either to Mittal [if it comes from them] or to OCA, or preferably, both.
