No-Migration Variance from Land Disposal Restrictions for Clean Harbors Lone Mountain, Oklahoma
Summary
The EPA is proposing to allow Clean Harbors at their Lone Mountain facility in Oklahoma to dispose of certain hazardous waste in a way that would normally be prohibited. This is a special exception that the company is requesting because they believe their disposal method won't allow dangerous chemicals to leak into groundwater.
