Waste Control Specialists LLC reached another milestone in Andrews County, Texas.
Waste Control Specialists has selected a company to build its low-level radioactive waste disposal facility.
Colorado based DelHur industries will start construction later this year after 75 million dollars in financing becomes available.
DelHur was the contractor that previously expanded Waste Control Specialists' current hazardous waste landfill.
In September 2009, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued a license for Waste Control Specialists LLC to build and operate a facility at its site in Texas. When it becomes operational, the facility will accept Classes A, B and C low-level radioactive waste from Texas and Vermont, as well as from the federal government.
