Contractor at Umatilla Chemical Depot Fined for Improper Labeling of Waste from Weapons Processing

The state of Oregon has levied a $25,800 fine against the contractor that operates the Umatilla Chemical Depot, the Portland Oregonian reported Friday (see GSN, Nov. 3).

Most of the fines against the Washington Demilitarization Co. involve improper labeling for containers filled with waste created during weapons processing, according to the Oregonian.

The contractor must appeal or pay the fine within 20 days (Andy Dworkin, Oregonian, Nov. 4).
