| KDHE Fines Local Facility KDHE Orders Safety-Kleen to Clean Itself Up Posted: 10:21 AM Mar 20, 2007 Last Updated: 11:06 AM Mar 20, 2007 The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued an administrative order against the Safety-Kleen Systems Branch in Dodge City requiring that it implement environmental and safety precautions at the plant. KDHE also ordered the cleaning and environmental services company to pay a $21,000 civil penalty for failing to comply with environmental regulations and permit requirements. The plant has 90 days from March 12th to submit plans to address the safety concerns, which include minimizing fire hazards and the release of hazardous waste. They will then have 180 days to complete the porgram once it is approved by the KDHE. Safety-Kleen would then have to collect routine hazardous waste samples for analysis 21K, must be a pretty serious violation. They handle alot of hazardous materials and solvents at this branch!! There goes the ground water that we have left!!      |

| Too bad the KDHE won't go after Excel. They have an area that they wash out the cattler trucks and it drains right out onto the ground, misses their lagoon and drains out to a field behind the laggoon. Talk about raising the nitrate levels of the groundwater!

| How about that "truck washout" located on the river off of the South bypass? Man, that looks like a great point of contamination!! In addition, alot of cattle trucks are dumping their troughs out on the county roads. I know, as they dump alot out where I live. If I could catch them, I would surely turn them in!! |

| Most of these places don't mind paying a fine. They just count it as a "business expense". Meanwhile, the taxpayers will probably get stuck for the eventual "clean-up"!  |
