With its permit from the Corps of Engineers for its barge dock on the Ohio River in hand, Nucor Steel West Virginia conducted a groundbreaking ceremony October 20 for its $3.1 billion sheet steel mill at Apple Grove, W Va., about two miles below the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam. The Corps issued the permit at the end of July, ending a months-long process that involved moving thousands of an endangered species of mussel at the dock site. Site work began soon after the permit was approved. The dock will be built along 7,500 feet of riverbank. It will have five barge fleeting areas capable of mooring a total of 48 barges at once. |
