Flare Maker Produces Perchlorate Water Pollution
The San Jose Mercury News reports that Olin, a Norwalk, CT based company has to solidify plans by next year to clean up the perchlorate pollution from its now closed flare manufacturing plant in Morgan Hill, CA.
The state Regional Water Quality Control Board has told Olin that it must produce a report recommending which cleanup level is most feasible of the peculate, a chemical used in flare and rocket manufacture.
Olin has spent $13 million over the past two years on bottled water, cleanup work around the flare plant and installing perchlorate removal systems on three public wells in San Martin that together serve 500 homes, Rick McClure of Olin said.
I am please to see a manufacturer like Olin, not only admitting their complicity in drinking water pollution, but also working towards a remedy.
