TweetPublished: Wed, September 30, 2009 @ 12:48 a.m.
WARREN — A Trumbull County grand jury has indicted a Maryland man on 12 counts of open burning and dumping in the stockpiling of between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of a manufacturing byproduct called “steel swarf” on the grounds of Diversified Resources Inc. on Refractories Drive in Champion.
Edgar C. Knieriem Jr., 62, of Cockeysville, Md., must appear for arraignment on the unclassified felony charges at 1:30 p.m. next Wednesday before Judge W. Wyatt McKay.
The indictment accuses Knieriem of dumping or burning the material on two dates in 2004, five dates in 2005, four dates in 2008, and Jan. 14, 2009.
Knieriem is charged both individually and as owner of Diversified Resources.

What's wrong with hime doing his burning in Maryland ? Laws to tough ! Wide open Ohio don't you love it !!
"stell swarf "? when I first read the headline, I thought it was a reptile or special breed of dog ;-)
He could have used solvent extraction to remove the oils and then distilled the solvent to recycle it . The metal scrap could then be sold .
Stan for Mayor !
