  • Algoma Steel Inc. Site-Specific Standards
    ABSTRACT Comments and supporting documentation regarding the concerns of ERO proposals to extend the expiry date for Algoma Steel Inc. (ASI) Site-Specific Standards (SSS) and the time required to complete necessary environmental work to reduce current benzene emissions from the facility. Selva Rasaiah Submitted to: Environmental Registry of Ontario Submitted by: Selva Rasaiah Submitted: December 13, 2020 (ERO 019-2301) December 20, 2020 (ERO 019-2526) ALGOMA STEEL INC. *Revised: December 21, 2020 SITE-SPECIFIC STANDARDS ERO PROPOSAL EXTENSION CONCERNS P a g e | 1 ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTRY OF ONTARIO ERO PROPOSAL 019-2301 P a g e | 2 P a g e | 3 P a g e | 4 P a g e | 5 ERO PROPOSAL 019-2301 As a former certified emissions auditor of the coke oven batteries at Algoma Steel Inc. (ASI) in 2018, I would encourage the province to reject the proposal (ERO# 019-2301) for an extension of the current site-specific-air standard (SSS). The extension is requested by the MECP since the original targets set for Benzene for 2021 (2.2 ug/m3) in the current ERO# 012-4677 (2016) will not likely be achieved. BENZENE The deficiency in the MECP’s plan for ASI to meet its intended target by 2021 is partly because the SSS for benzene that was set in 2016 (5.5 ug/m3) was only a 7.4% decrease from their modelled value in 2015 (5.94 ug/m3) according to ASI’s Emission Summary Dispersion Model (ESDM) report. Although, ASI is currently below their current SSS for Benzene (5.5 ug/m3), the data from ASI ESDMs’ from 2017-2019 shows an increasing trend of values closer to their current limit over time, rather than a gradual trend down towards their 2021 limit of 2.2 ug/m3 before ERO #012-4677 expires.

  • The Italian Colony at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
    The Italian Colony at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario By Gerolamo Moroni [A report written by the Italian royal Attaché of Immigration, Girolamo Moroni, stationed at Montréal, Québec, Canada. The report was published in the Bolletino dell’Emigrazione in 1914. The Italian government published the Bolletino between 1907 and 1927 to show prospective immigrants what to expect throughout the world if they decided to immigrate. This report provides an in­depth look into the Italian community at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and the social and work conditions facing them. Included in this report are the Magpie and Helen iron mines to the north of Sault Ste. Marie. It is translated and edited by Russell M. Magnaghi.] Sault Ste. Marie is situated in the Algoma District in northern Ontario, between Lakes Huron and Superior. The city has approximately 12,000 inhabitants and including the suburbs of Steelton, Buckley, and Bay View, approximately 18,000. It is a small industrial city, with laborers working on the railroad, steel, paper and mechanized sawmills. The Italian colony is composed of approximately 3,000 permanent residents and between the spring and autumn 600­800 seasonal residents. The frst Italians arrived in 1895, but the great part came with the opening of the metallurgy industry in 1902. Our people come from Calabria, The Marches and Abruzzi, and Veneto, and a small number from other parts of the Kingdom [of Italy]. In the Italian colony there are no professionals; only one Italian [Catholic] priest; two contractors overseeing building, excavation and sewerage laborers. The Italians of this place have demonstrated a desire for an Italian physician, who would have small pharmacy, as they do not have a pharmacy here.

  • Algoma Ore: the Helen and Magpie Iron Mines by James Shefchik
    Algoma Ore: The Helen and Magpie Iron Mines By James Shefchik The Helen and Magpie mines are situated to the north, northeast of Wawa, Ontario inland from the eastern shore of Lake Superior, about 279 km north of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontatio. The Helen mine site is roughly 6 km (about 4 miles) from Wawa up Mine Road. The Magpie mine is situated up the Michipicoten River about 24 km (15 miles) from Wawa. The Magpie Mine site is accessible via boat from the Steephill Falls dam, with a short overland traverse to the mine site or alternatively via bush road. The discovery and development of the Helen and Magpie mines not only fueled a steel industry in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, it also spurred the development of a number of hydroelectric power projects in Sault Sainte Marie and Wawa. High grade iron ore as well as beneficiated or refned lower grade ores from these mines furnished most of the native ore that fed Canadian production of steel during the frst two decades of the 1900s. The mines each supported small company towns for workers and families. In the 1950s, Wawa became an established village, mostly populated by individuals involved in the iron industry. The mines not only fueled the Algoma Steel plant and supporting industries at the Soo, operations also involved a number of hoists or lifts, crushers, an aerial tramway, firing plant, rail shipping, and Great Lakes ore freight. The Helen and Magpie mines helped to feed the industrialization of northern Ontario. An initial gold rush in the area during the late 19th century brought prospectors looking for claims to stake.

Since the late 1890s the US Navy leased the USS Gopher and the USS Yantic to the Naval National Guard in Minnesota and Michigan. The former was docked at Duluth and the other at Hancock. When the war broke out over two hundred men were sent with their ships to the East Coast and joined the Navy having been prepared for action. A few days after declaration of war, some forty male students at Northern State Normal School (today Northern Michigan University) were drilling as they were in both high schools and colleges around the lake.
