Occidental Petroleum Representative

Your role as the representative from Occidental Petroleum is going to be to prove to the reader that the Love Canal area is clean and safe to move back into. In August of 1978, the Love Canal Interagency Task Force was established to coordinate the many activities undertaken at the canal. The cleanup plan consisted of a title drain collection system designed to "contain" the wastes and prevent any outward migration of chemical leachate. A graded trend system was dug around the canal to intercept migrating leachate and create a barrier drain system. The leachate collected from the drain system was pumped to an on-site treatment plant that uses a series of filters, most importantly, activated charcoal to remove chemicals from the waste stream. The remaining "clean" water is then flushed down the sanitary sewer system. In June of 1994 Occidental Petroleum paid $98 million to cover New York State's cleanup costs and in December of 1995 Occidental Petroleum paid $129 million to cover the federal government's cleanup costs. In January of 1996 Occidental Chemical (subsidiary) took over full operation and maintenance of the chemical waste treatment plant at Love Canal.

'Occidental' (relating to the western world) is the opposite of 'Oriental' (relating to the eastern world).
