Blackshare Environmental completed investigation of three separate sites where waste from the routine demolition of glass furnaces was illegally dumped. The material consisted mainly of fire brick, glass cullet and silica sand. Upon discovery of the sites, the ODEQ issued Notice of Violation (NOV) to both the waste generator and the disposal contractor who actually dumped the waste. The ODEQ required full characterization of each of the sites.
