Limits of this reading
- The filing counts nothing by business, so the split among coke plants, mill services and terminals is by description (c); the data service's history (about 300 a year through 2024) carried a figure far below the filing's counts.
- The mill services work has no group of its own on the site and is read at remediation and other waste management services, flagged.
