Keep Your Insurance Company Informed of Environmental Claims

摘要

In 1968 your grandfather, Bolo Ono, founded Ono Iron Coatings Co. (Ono), a steel coatings and plating facility. You are Chip Ono, grandson of the founder of the company and Vice President of engineering and environmental services. The real estate on which the company has operated since 1968 includes two wells—the first a source of manufacturing water (process water) and the second a source of drinking water for Ono's employees. From 1968 until 1980 Ono stored its cyanide waste from plating operations on site in a waste pit. In 1980, as the environmental laws were being unfolded at the national level, Ono excavated its cyanide waste pit and properly disposed of the sludge from the pit.
