Frequently asked questions
The river never left its banks and the mill-row basements flooded. How?
Stage, not overbank. A raised river backs into slag fill and reaches those basements from below, so the channel stays inside its banks throughout. The level is what matters, not the width.
The foundation wall cracked and now it leaks. Which came first?
The settlement. Slag fill under these mill rows keeps moving, and it cracks a 1950s wall that the river is already holding water against, so the crack becomes the entry point. The ground moved first and the water followed it in.
The furnace is cold. Does Shenango slag still feed a mill-row cellar on a dry July morning?
It can. Closed is not regraded. Slag still connects to the Shenango, and a cellar on that fill can wet from below because the industrial hydrology was never removed. The river keeps the supply steady, so the slag is a fair-weather problem as much as a storm problem.
