@ET's saying is one everyone in the manufacturing business is familiar with. Some businesses take it more seriously than others. At a chemical plant, I was given the task of leading a team to meet new EPA regulations and to clean up some old issues. The plant had been there since around 1930. In those days, they dug a big pit and put 55 gallon drums of waste (toxic and non-toxic) in it. Eventually, it got covered up and forgotten about. We happened to drill some core samples all around the plant when we found the pit. One of the old-timers remembered what it was used for. We had to dig out the pit plus another 10 feet deep and put everything (even the dirt) through an incinerator/treater. Then we backfilled the pit with clean dirt/sand. We also installed ground water stations to pump out any water that might be contaminated and feed it through an incinerator/treater.Â
