The first furnace breath notice began with the furnace heat marks and the crew’s pause-and-return log. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the north furnace aisle in the communal ironworks.
The current docket records 9 cooling pauses per completed charge; the earlier file recorded 9. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the new fuel mix can cut smoke without requiring a longer hot shift.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a soot line on the draft door that shifts when the intake starts to narrow. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
The mill measures fuel by charge; the crew says time spent clearing a slow draft is missing from that total. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
A new complaint or proposal has been entered under a dated docket. The entry belongs to the public comment close file at the north furnace aisle in the communal ironworks. The next trial will record both charge time and the minutes spent clearing the intake. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
