Omega Chemical Corporation
The Omega Chemical Corporation was a refrigerant and solvent recycling company that operated from 1976-1991 in Whittier, California. Due to improper waste handling and removal, the soil and groundwater beneath the property became contaminated and the area is now referred to as the Omega Chemical Superfund Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=EPA )〕 Cleanup of the site began in 1995 with the removal of hazardous waste receptacles and a multimillion dollar soil vaporization detoxifying system.
==History==
The Omega Chemical Corporation processed hazardous wastes from refrigerants at their facilities to be recycled into commercial products.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Proposed Plan for Soil Cleanup )〕 They primarily handled hydrocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons and stored the waste at their facilities in Whittier, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EPA Omega Chemical Corporation )〕 Due to leakage and improper handling, transport, and storage practices, there has been contamination of groundwater and soil by volatile organic compounds (compounds that can easily evaporate in air), and other metals.〔 Removal activities began under the supervision of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1995 after thousands of drums of hazardous wastes, contaminated cylinders of up to 20,000 pounds, and hundreds of contaminated, empty drums were reported at the Omega site.〔 A CERCLA administrative order was administered to the owner of the site to begin cleanup activities and the Omega Chemical Site PRP Organized Group was formed of potentially responsible parties to carry out the orders. Over 4,000 contaminated drums were removed from the property by this group and numerous soil and groundwater samples were evaluated for toxicity.〔
