• WCM : Waste Control Management, Inc . P. O. Box 659 Huffman, Texas 77336 (713)-852-3757 riay 3, 1954 City of LaPorte Mr. David A. Paulissen P. 0. Box 1115 LaPorte, Texas 77571 Reference: Miller Transporters, Inc.'s proposed LaPorte facility. Dear Mr. Paulissen: It was a pleasure renewing our acquaintance with you the other day during our discussion of Iriiller Transporters, Inc. On their behalf I am hereby providing you with the information requested concerning their proposed facility and operations in the LaPorte area. It is my understanding that the items of concern by both you and your City Council include: the types of chemical residuals to be handled and cleaned at the proposed site, the environmental compliance history associated with Miller Tranporters other operations across the country, the potential for surface contamination and spill prevention at the proposed site, and information concerning the wastewater pretreatment system for the discharges now proposed for acceptance by the City of LaPorte. Each item is separately addressed below. First, I have attached a list of the types of chemicals which Miller Transporters, Inc. anticipates will be cleaned at the facility. Second, Miller Transporters, Inc.'s previous environmental history contains no record of any EPA violation. ~~ Third, spill prevention and the elimination of any potential for surface contamination ~vill be inherent in this facility's design. As you know, the quantity of chemicals that will be handled on this property will be minute residuals remaining in the empty containers prior to cleaning. The chemical types of these residuals are listed in the attached chemical handling list. Given the minute quantities which will be handled, the potential for spillage of any significant quantity of any chemical is negligible and not of sufficient volume to leave the property.
