Archive ID#: UT3135
 
Description: A relatively new $125 million hazardous waste incinerator, fully operational since January 1996, and one of the largest in the USA. Designed to burn up to 130,000 tons of toxic chemical wastes per year, mostly from petroleum and chemical industries. Owned by Safety Kleen, which owns another major chemical waste incinerator a few miles east at Aragonite. The other major incinerator owned by the company (one of the largest hazardous waste companies in the country),  is at Deer Park, TX. Safety Kleen bought this plant around 2000, and prior to that it was operated by Laidlaw Environmental Services, the Canadian waste giant, which bought USPCI from Union Pacific in 1995, the company that began construction on the incinerator.
