Perma-Fix Announces Program to Assist Generators With Potential Liabilities From Superfund and Other Abandoned Waste Sites
- Attention Customers of Southeastern Research & Recovery, Inc.
ATLANTA, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: PESI; BSE) today announced a program to assist waste generators in removing their hazardous and non-hazardous waste and possibly reducing liability associated with their waste materials at the Southeastern Research & Recovery, Inc. Superfund site and other abandoned waste sites.
Perma-Fix has identified this need through interaction with new customers who have determined that their former waste service providers had shipped materials to the Southeastern Research & Recovery, Inc. site, located in Atlanta, Georgia. This site has been taken over by EPA for an Emergency Response action. If you are a waste generator that sent waste to Southeastern Research & Recovery's site either directly or through a broker or third party, you may be liable for the removal of your waste on the site and may be liable for significant other cost associated with the cleanup. The site contains approximately 13,000 drums of waste.
Perma-Fix can assist generators involved in such sites by acting as their agent in the process, potentially removing waste from the sites and/or providing options that can reduce their long-term liability associated with the EPA action.
Generators who would like to participate or would like more information on how to potentially reduce their liability at this site should contact Perma-Fix at 770-587-9932. Confidentiality is assured.
