chemical waste incinerator

The residents of Altgeld Gardens are surrounded by landfills, a chemical waste incinerator, and piles of loose trash.

The company had removed ash from a chemical waste incinerator and returned it to their own site for disposal somewhere other than the licensed landfill specified on the waste transfer note.

"We've been complaining for years that the Government has been coddling the boilers and industrial furnaces," said Richard C. Fortuna, the executive director of the Hazardous Waste Treatment Council, a trade group in Washington that represents the 20 commercial chemical waste incinerators.

"Maybe he's developed a bit of courage," said Terri Swearingen, a registered nurse and barbed opponent of the toxic chemical waste incinerator, which vents steadily into the air, day after day, just 1,100 feet from an elementary school attended by 400 children in this humble Ohio River Valley town.

The company owns the largest commercial hazardous waste dump in predominantly black Sumter County, Ala., runs a toxic waste incinerator in Chicago's South Side near a minority housing project and is seeking to build a $60 million chemical waste incinerator alongside its hazardous waste dump in Kettleman City.

Examples of AEA's work include the environmental assessment of potential major chemical hazards from a planned industrial development for a Middle East State; environmental assessments of derelict contaminated sites and their proposed redevelopment options; and review of an environmental assessment conducted for a proposed UK chemical waste incinerator.
