1Currently operating iron and (or) steel company. Company is not shown for most old slag pile sites.
2-Foreign- refers to the fact that the facility imports unground granulated blast furnace slag and grinds it onsite to make ground granulated blast furnace slag-commonly now referred to as -slag cement.-
-Domestic- implies grinding of slag sourced from the domestic market.
3Blast furnace slag type abbreviations: AC = air-cooled; GG = granulated; Exp = expanded. Steel furnace slag types: BOF = basic oxygen furnace; OHF = open hearth furnace; EAF = electric arc furnace.
4For the air-cooled slag, Stein, Inc. was responsible for the cooling, but the processing and marketing were handled by Beelman Truck Co. (Granite City, IL), Lafarge North America Inc. (Cleveland, OH),-
or Mountain Materials, Inc. (Ashland, KY).
5The Camden, NJ, grinding plant was sold to Essroc Corp. in July 2015 during the merger of Holcim (US) Inc. and Lafarge North America Inc.
6For granulated slag, Fritz Enterprises, Inc. operated the granulator but Holcim (US) Inc. owned the apparatus and marketed the slag. Owing to the permanent closure of the United States Steel Corp.--
blast furnace early in 2015, slag supplies ceased and subsequent sales of ground granulated slag ceased, and the grinding plant closed by yearend.
7The Gallatin Steel Co. processing contract at Ghent, KY, was transferred to Phoenix Services, LLC, in October 2015.
8In July 2015, with the merger of their parent companies, Holcim (US) Inc. and Lafarge North America Inc. were merged to become LafargeHolcim, although the premerger company names were-
retained in the United States for certain business purposes.
9The Gary, IN, granulator and downstream Chicago, IL, grinding plant were sold to Eagle Materials Corp. in July 2015 during the merger of Holcim (US) Inc. and Lafarge North America Inc.
A subsidiary, Skyway Cement Co., was then formed by Eagle to operate the facilities and market the slag.
10Lafarge North America Inc. ground some of the granulated slag from East Chicago, IN, at various of its cement plants located elsewhere.
