Enviro-Prep: The Long-Term Solution to Disposing of Lead Containing Waste

With the recognition of the hazards of lead bearing waste, a new industry concerned with lead abatement has evolved. Lead-based paint has been used extensively for coating bridges, water towers, tanks and residential/commercial buildings for generations. Leaded waste has leached into our soil from manufacturing facilities for years. Since governments have mandated that lead bearing waste material be removed and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, people have been searching for an economically efficient means of removing and disposing of such waste.

In 1992, a chemist from hci chemtec, inc., a manufacturer of industrial coatings, and an engineer from RMT, Inc., a leader in heavy metals treatment, were each invited to the Bad River Indian Reservation in Northern Wisconsin to consult on potential water contamination from a bridge painting project. From that beginning, a four-year collaborative development effort began - resulting in a revolutionary approach to dealing with lead bearing waste.
