Not sure when it actually happened. We are and have been monitoring the air and there is no additional threat detected as levels of SO2 are low and weather conditions are helpful. We are waiting to hear from US Steel. Jim, is this correct?   From: Downs, Amie Sent: Monday, December 24, 2018 12:31 PM To: Scarpino, Ryan Cc: Hacker, Karen ; Kelly, Jim ; Graham, Jayme ; Deluca, Dean Subject: Re: incident at USS Clairton   When did they report?
