Greetings bren
The first part of your question,
Ten sources of information on Chaparrel Steel that
will provide me significant information on the company.
(1) What they do
[ http://www.chaparralsteel.com/ ]
[ http://www.chaparralsteel.com/overview.asp ]
"Chaparral Steel-Texas, located in Midlothian, Texas, is a
technologically advanced steel mill which produces bar and
structural steel products from recycled steel. The plant
commenced operations in 1975 and more than doubled in capacity
in 1982."
[ http://www.cleantechindia.com/eicnew/successstories/Steel.htm ]
"Each year, Chaparral Steel uses more than 700,000 used cars as
scrap in the production of 1.6 million tons of steel"
[ http://www.indigodev.com/Cases.html ]
"Chaparral Steel is a Midlothian Texas company seeking to
define every output as a product, saying, Waste is a
sacrificed financial opportunity! CEO Gordon Forward's
strategic goal is to generate zero waste. Steel is the
world's most recycled material and the mini-mill industry,
with Chaparral ones of its largest producers, relies on
recycled steel as its feedstock. Chaparral generates much
of its raw material from an on-site auto shredder. There
were major unutilized by-products from the shredding and
the mill itself."

[ http://www.iglue.com/schwob/projectschaparral.htm ]
Client: Chaparral Steel Recycling Plant
Completion Date: 1999
Location: Petersburg, Virginia
"Schwob was selected to do the steel erection on a 425,000 s.f.
building that stretches for over a quarter mile. A series of
high-use cranes, ranging in capacity from 15 to 50 tons, are
supported by open-web columns that also provided support for
utility trusses that ran the length of the facility. The frames
vary in width from a 154' single span across the cooling bed
bays to a 330' three-span condition across the mill and
finishing bays."

TXI. Chaparral takes scrap metal, including many, many autos, and
uses electric arc furnaces to melt them down into construction
forms. Chaparral produces hazardous waste in the form of lead,
zinc and cadmium dust that is now transported off-site for
disposal/recycling."

Domestic Steel Producers File Dumping, Subsidy Petitions On
Structural Steel Beams From Four Countries
[ http://www.chaparralsteel.com/structural/news_detail.asp?sel=32&cat=8
]
"(July 7, 1999) U.S. steel producers filed petitions today
with the U.S. Department of Commerce & U.S. International
Trade Commission to impose antidumping and countervailing
duties against imports of structural steel beams from Germany,
Japan, South Korea, and Spain. The petitions state that imports
from each of these countries are sold at less than fair value,
that imports from South Korea are subsidized by the government,
and that these subsidized and dumped imports are injuring the
domestic structural steel industry. "

"Chaparral Steel and Texas Industries, Inc. (TXI) Cement
Division, two Midlothian, Texas, manufacturing facilities
owned by the same company, established the foundation of a
zero-emissions park by forming a partnership to use
Chaparral's steel slag in TXI's cement kiln to produce
high-quality Portland cement."
By-Product Synergy A Tool for Sustainable Greenhouse Gas
Emissions
[ http://www.bcsdgm.org/bps_abstract.htm ]
"Chaparral Steel, one of the first companies to adopt the BPS
concept, recently documented a compelling testament to BPS'
capacity to accomplish the allegedly incompatible economic
and environmental goals of GHG reductions and economic growth"
By-Product Synergy
[ http://www.nae.edu/nae/naehome.nsf/weblinks/NAEW-4NHMH9?opendocument
]
"At first glance, it's hard to imagine how anyone could get
excited about slag, a by-product of the steel-making process.
But when managers of Chaparral Steel got together with their
counterparts at a Texas Industries Inc. (TXI) cement plant,
they came up with a surprising discovery: Steel slag could
be converted into a valuable raw material for cement production."
Industrial Ecology in Motion (2): Heavy Industry
[ http://www.natlogic.com/resources/nbl/v04/n22.html ]
"So, in collaboration with a nearby cement plant that happened
to be owned by its parent company Texas Industries Inc.,
Chaparral set out to find new opportunities reduce waste
generation, increase efficiency and create value. The results
have been noteworthy. Chaparral has reduced the volume of
baghouse dust (a hazardous waste which costs $220 ton to
dispose of) to 28% below industry average, reduced lime content
in the dust by 87% (allowing it to be used in metals recovery),
reduced lime use by one-third and saved over $1 million in 1994
by using 5130 tons of recycled dust in the furnace."

===========================================
It appears what makes them different is
their public attention to protecting the
environment through reduction in emissions.
Some controversial information that I
posted in (4) seems to disagree. Their
strengths seems to be in the public
display of environmental attention and the
fact that their holding company TXI just
happens to own a cement subsidiary that
compliments the steel companies' ability
to get rid of some waste products. The
only weaknesses that are obvious in
media are the supposed hazardous wastes
on-site and introduced into the atmosphere.
"However, there are two hazardous waste landfills from
past years of on-site disposal. It also produces "fluff,"
which is what the non-metal "innards" of the autos are
called. This "fluff" has been dumped in the TXI quarry
where it has caught fire at least twice in the last
eight years."
" The Huge Volumes of Pollution: According to state
documents, all four Midlothian heavy industries are
among the top air polluters in north Texas, with TXI
ranking as the largest single source of air pollution
in Dallas/FortWorth" Holnam ranked second and North
Texas Cement 3rd. Chaparral Steel was 6th. Combined,
they released over 48 million pounds of pollution
into the Best Southwest Skies in 1995."
