We strive to meet or
exceed compliance with all current environmental
regulations. We accomplish this goal by
maintaining an ongoing relationship with HRP
Associates, Inc. of Farmington, Connecticut, an
environmental consulting firm that is knowledgeable
about all federal, state, and local environmental
regulations. The changing regulatory climate
sometimes makes compliance a demanding challenge, but
our strong relationship with HRP enables us to achieve
effective environmental policies.
Our employees are
trained to continually monitor the workplace to
prevent any occurrences that might adversely impact
the environment. At Mattatuck, we work hard to
keep our facility clean and environmentally
sound. Our plant, and even our street, is
power-swept daily to ensure that the facility remains
clean.
We recently installed
state-of-the-art cement pads - equipped with oil and
water separators - in the steel yard. These will
protect the environment from contaminants leaching
into the ground. All scrap in the ferrous
operation will eventually be stored on pads to provide
a secure containment barrier. Our concern for
the environment translates into ongoing efforts to
improve our methods of operation.
