Re: Barnwell Access Fees

["Walter J. Blatchford" <wjblatch@bellatlantic.net>]

Apparently my first reply got lost in the murky maze of the web.
As the northeast sales guy for USEcology, a radwaste broker and
processor, I deal with a number of plants. Within my region, all but
three sites have expressed a preference for Envirocare over Barnwell.
Economics is the driver, costs are about one third of those at Barnwell.
We are directed by most of our clients to process and package to meet
the E'care acceptance criteria.
We strongly recomend that generators use processors to ensure
conformance to E'care criteria, they can be difficult to deal with
directly.
Feel free to E-mail me at wjblatch@bellatlantic.net or landline me at
(215)953-1995.
Hope this helps.
