Olin seeks open burn variance for explosive wastes
The Marion hearing considered a variance for Olin Corp to burn explosive wastes at plant sites in Orcil. Olin argues no current disposal method exists. If denied the plant could close 1000 workers. Waste types include pyrotechnic scraps and ammonium nitrate based propellants. Olin aims to develop an earth pit incinerator and coke-fire system with expert testimony from SIU and company officials.
