DEMOGRAPHY OF MAJOR WMI HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES AND ADJACENT AREAS

 

In 1984, the California Waste Management Board commissioned a report prepared by Cerrell Associates of Los Angeles, "Political Difficulties Facing Waste-to-Energy Conversion Plant Siting,'t in which a demographic analysis was completed detailing which communities would offer the least resistance to so-called "Locally Undesirable Land Uses." Cerrell showed that such communities are typically rural, poor, and politically conservative with no history of activism of any sort. "The person least likely to oppose a facility is older, has a high school education or less, and adheres to a conservative, free-market orientation." Cornmunities where WMI has sited and operated their waste disposal facilities often typically match these criteria.

The following table provides demographic statistics ahout the areas where WMI(CWM facilities are located. Figures are for 1986. An asterisk (*) indicates zip codes where WMI facility is located, and other figures are for nearby areas.

In 1991 it was revealed in North Carolina that Chem-Nuclear, a WMI subsidiary commissioned a report by Epley and Associates, Inc. to gauge potential opposition to a "low-level" radioactive waste landfill. Socioeconomic conditions were a major criteria used in assessing potential opposition to the dump.

CWM is currently involved in a lawsuit ified on behalf of People for Clean Air and Water of Kettlemen City, California. The suit alleges that CWM has engaged in a practice of environmental racism on the siting of its landfills and dumps. The figures charted here clearly support that allegation.

APPENDIX G

 

 

WASTE MANAGEMENI; INC.: Examples of Recent Penalties or Settlements

 

Note: As WMI itself admits in its rebuttal to the 1987 edition of the Green-peace report, Waste Management, Inc., "CWM has never conceded any environmental violations at any of its facilities; it has entered into agreements involving settlements to avoid litigation and to bring about improvements requested by regulatory agencies." (See endnote 555) In other w6rds, WML(CWM typically pay a penalty or settlement to avoid court adjudication of their responsibility for civil and criminal charges of this type. In this way they have been able to defend themselves by suggesting that all the charges are "alleged" violations that were never proven true and repeatedly claim that no environmental or health threats were proven.

The penalties and settlements listed below include environmental, operational, and reporting violations committed by WMI, its subsidiaries, and affiliated divisions. The list does not include payments made to individuals who have sued WMI for damages. Not all proposed fines have been collected. Fines denoted with an asterisk are still pending. The sources relied upon list many additional charges and their resolution, which did not include payment of any penalty The list does not include penalties or settlements paid by WML(CWM for violations committed by companies prior to their acquisition by WML(CWM..

 

(Sources: 1, 17, 23, 482, 472, 414, 640, 760. The table does not include additional charges and their resolution as reported in these sources where the settlement did not include a payment)

WMI'S CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

taken from the company's 1989 Annual Report, pp. 11-14.

 

On March 7, 1990, the Board of Directors of Waste Management, Inc. approved an expanded environmental policy for the Company. This policy was developed and recommended to the Company's Board of Directors by the Waste Management Executive Environmental Committee established last spring.

In developing Waste Management's environmental policy, the Committee consulted with environmental groups and gave careful consideration to their views.
