Environmental Management & Controls, Inc.

Established in 1988 as California's only licensed radioactive waste processing facility, Environmental Managements & Controls (EMC) continues to emphasize customer service and commitment to compliance in the increasingly complex radioactive and mixed waste management industry.

As a leader in the radioactive and hazardous/mixed waste industry, EMC offers the radioactive-mixed waste manager access to the complete spectrum of packaging, transportation, processing, disposal, training, consulting, and field services necessary to ensure the regulatory compliance of your waste management program. From its Turlock, California facility, EMC offers waste processing capabilities including segregation, consolidation, compaction, and supercompaction of dry solid waste material, solidification and absorption (where applicable) of aqueous liquid waste streams, and waste stabilization of devices and sealed sources using high integrity containers and concrete encapsulation.

Through EMC's combination of these waste-processing techniques, waste generators can take advantage of the optimum disposal configuration for any of the licensed commercial LLRW disposal facilities. With access to the U.S. Ecology-Richland, WA, GTS/CNSI-Barnwell, SC, and Envirocare of Utah (EU)-Clive, Utah, facilities, EMC can provide generators access to disposal capacity regardless of the generator's physical or political location. Through our segregation and consolidation services, generators may also benefit from the utilization of multiple disposal sites depending on the type and regulatory status of their waste. With our recently approved radioactive waste profiles for supercompacted waste at Envirocare, generators outside the Northwest/Rocky mountain compacts have access to the significant cost saving associated with Envirocare without the substantial cost of profiling their own waste streams or exotic processing technology historically necessary to access Envirocare.

In addition to the prominent position within the LLRW industry, EMC has become a leader in the disposal of NORM/NARM/Exempt waste streams. Generators' radium sources, instruments, and devices can be processed and disposed economically at the USE-Richland facility regardless of the generator's location. Accelerator produced radioactive waste (i.e. Co57 sources and tritium targets) and many exempt or excepted radioactive wastes (thorium coated optics, electron tubes, self-luminous timepieces, and Mg/Ni-thorium aircraft components) can also be processed and disposed of at the USE-Richland facility at very economical rates. EMC, in association with sister company RWM and parent company TGA, can provide transportation, "Decay in Storage", and brokerage services for hazardous and mixed radioactive-hazardous wastes providing generators with additional flexibility.
