Safe-Tee Offers Hydrocarbon Contaminant

Cleanser

Safe-Tee Chemical Products has developed STC

Bison, an ultra-concentrated, multipurpose cleanser developed for use in treating hydrocarbon-based contaminants.

The product will reportedly neutralize petroleum- based oil and grease by molecularly converting most toxic, petroleum hydrocarbons into non-toxic, harm- less compounds which are safe for disposal.

Distributed by Wegs International, Inc., STC

Bison solutions use soponification, which results in a chemical reaction with undesirable hydrocarbons and does not emulsify oil and grease.

The process is achieved by injecting or washing the contaminated water or soil with the appropriate

STC Bison solution. The soap by-product of soponi- fication is water soluble, rendering the original petroleum compound water soluble and no longer toxic.

EPA Acts Against Clean Water Violations

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued Administrative Penalty Orders (APOs) and Administrative Orders to 18 facilities in

Dade County for violations of the Clean Water Act (CWA).

Robert F. McGhee, EPA Region 4 Water Division director, said, "Although the storm water require- ments are relatively new, EPA must ensure that the streams, rivers and waterways of Florida are pro- tected. As a step in that direction, we have issued the Orders and assessed penalties against facilities which are not complying with the requirements of the CWA."

These enforcement actions were initiated as a result of inspections conducted in conjunction with the Miami River Coordinating Committee and included assistance from the Florida Department of

Environmental Protection, Dade Environmental

Resources Management, the Florida Marine Patrol and the City of Miami.

Safety Negligence Costs Barge Owner $8.5 M

Island.
