Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price this week announced that on June 28 the Alameda County Criminal Grand Jury issued a 10-count indictment against Radius Recycling Inc. (formerly Schnitzer Steel), along with two company managers on charges that stem from crimes related to a two-day scrap metal fire on Aug. 9-10, 2023, at the company’s West Oakland metal-shedding facility. The unsealed indictment alleges that Radius/Schnitzer, Daniel Woltmann, and Dane Morales committed numerous felony health and safety code violations, including recklessly emitting an air contaminant that caused great bodily injury or death and reckless treatment, handling, disposal, or storage of hazardous waste in a manner causing an unreasonable risk of fire, explosion, serious injury, or death.
