Item 5. Other Events
We recently discovered that our Tulsa, Oklahoma subsidiary, which
has a permit to treat and store hazardous waste in certain areas of
its facility, had been improperly accepting and storing a
substantial amount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in violation
of certain environmental laws in areas not permitted to accept
and/or to store hazardous and non-hazardous waste. We voluntarily
reported this matter to the appropriate Oklahoma state authorities
and have removed this waste to permitted treatment, storage and/or
disposal facilities. We are working with the Oklahoma authorities to
provide the information requested by the Oklahoma authorities as to
this matter. As of the date of this report, we have not been
notified by the Oklahoma authorities as to what action or actions,
if any, the Oklahoma authorities will take against our subsidiary as
a result of this improper acceptance and storage of waste. The
Oklahoma authorities could assert monetary fines or penalties or
take other action against our subsidiary (including, but not limited
to, loss of permits), which may have a material adverse effect on
us.
