FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
No. 10-OPA22
Chicago (March 5, 2010) U.S. Environmental Safety Company Region 5 will accept public comments until April 23 on a Team Completions LLC request to change its existing permit to dispose of non-hazardous waste deep underground at its facility near Kingsley in Grand Traverse County.
Team Completions currently operates a commercial underground injection well in which it disposes of brine from oil and gas wells. The organisation also wants to inject what is known as “leachate,” a non-hazardous liquid waste from landfills.
After reviewing the request, EPA found the firm has shown that injected waste will not threaten underground sources of drinking water. Therefore, EPA plans to grant the permit request.

Purchase Office 2007, April 7, at Mill Creek Elementary School, 9039 Old M-72,
