Coffeyville Transformer Processing Facility, Kansas

The hazardous waste incinerator on this site burned contaminated soil from Times Beach, Missouri, as well as PCBs and other chemicals from all over the nation. Safety-Kleen acquired the site when it bought Aptus, a division of Rollins Environmental Services, which itself had acquired the company from Westinghouse. Safety-Kleen closed the incinerator in 2001, but continued on-site hazardous storage activities. Clean Harbors, the nation's largest hazardous and industrial waste management company, of Boston, MA, then owned it. The facility specialized in PCB and mercury-type waste, especially those associated with electrical transformers.
