Montana Owner of Oaks Disposal is First Operator of Low Level Waste Facility

摘要

While North Dakota figures out what to do with radioactive waste from oil production, a Montana operator hopes it doesn't change a thing.Ross Oakland, owner of Oaks Disposal northwest of Glendive, Mont., is doing pretty good business taking oil field waste from North Dakota, because his operation is handily located at the western edge of Bakken operations, and also because Montana's rules allow his facility to take radioactive waste up to 30 picocuries per gram.
