They're doing the best they can. They're doing horribly."their own beliefs Chat they their best and they re not lobby on, but I don't think doing they're best. It's about they know what I want." 50/50." Port Continued from page A-1 state of Louisiana had started re- questing help from entities like the port, Dobson said. According to the letter from Hauser, about 700,000 tons of haz- ardous materials were at the site, from about 6,000 different locations, including the port of Shelton. MSP argued that .4395 tons was shipped from the port, Hauser states in the letter. Since the port itself does not pro- duce or use any hazardous materi- als, port employees concluded that it must have come from an old tenant, Dobson said. "I said, take a look at this, is there something here?" he said. "That's when we started opening up the can of worms." Port employees traced the ship- ment back to a now-defunct compa- ny called Certified Aerospace, which was a tenant at the Port of Shelton when the hazardous chemicals were sent to Louisiana. "The original company that they're looking for is no longer here," Dobson said. Certified Aerospace became Olympic Tool, and part of it is now Olympic Fabricators, Dobson said. "So Olympic Fabricators (then Certified Aerospace) had some ma- terial, small quantities of it but they had some material that they creat- ed. They hired a company to pack- age it up and ship it ... to this dis- posal company," he said. MSP manifests show that two separate shipments of hazardous chemicals originated at the Port of Shelton in 1992. The shipments were in February and August of 1992 and included non-halogenated solvents and methyl ethyl ketone. MSP didn't properly destroy this waste, Dobson said. "They weren't even destroying it, they were just destroying the land with it," he said. "My understanding is that they were overwhelmed and were just not doing the job, period." Dobson said that because the port has determined that they are not le- gally bound to pay the $4,000 fine, they would not pay the fine. "The intent is good and it's well founded," Dobson said. "But well wait a minute why should we pay it? We have no legal responsibility ... All we're really saying is that we need to put the blame where it be- longs." Dobson said that some entities, like the port, might choose to pay the $4,000 rather than expend the time and energy to prove that they are not legally responsible for the material and the fine. "Sooner or later that $4,000 starts to look real cheap," Dobson said. The port has responded to MSP, and has offered to help connect them with the current incarnations of Cer- tified Aerospace, and their insurers, Dobson said. :: :: ........ : :iiiii iiiiii ii iiii ii' iiiiii!i i!i !i!i!ili!i!iiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii gift for any - !
