Does anyone know of any additional resources that have the amounts of steel recovered from the World Trade Center?

gives the impression that all debris was processed at the Staten Island Land Fill except for 165,000 tons of steel removed directly from the ground zero site. The report states that 35,000 tons of steel were separated at the land fill. This gives 200,000 tons.
I have seen on a previous thread that people give 360,000 tons of steel being recovered. I assume this is from FEMA Appendix D which actually gives "more than 350,000 tons". The FEMA report was released in May, 2002. The Forensic Recovery document linked above is from later than July 26, 2002.
I have seen reports of sales to three steel companies or scrap yards:
Boasteel 50,000 tons
Hugo Nue Schnitzer's 25,000 tons
Metal Management in Newark 40,000 tons (25,000 in other articles)
I haven't seen anything about how much (if any) was received by Blanford and Co. in Keasbey, NJ.
What happened to the rest of the steel? (I am not suggesting it was vaporized.)
