Chemical Waste Management of the Northwest
CWM has operated in rural Oregon since 1976, providing treatment and safe disposal for industrial and hazardous waste. The facility is permitted as a Subtitle C landfill under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) with oversight from the EPA and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ). RCRA is the principal federal law governing the disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste.

The facility is engineered with overlapping environmental protection systems that meet or exceed rigorous state and federal regulations. Designed and operated under highly regulated and prescribed procedures, CWM is engineered to protect surface and groundwater. The landfill is also subject to highly regulated monitoring and reporting requirements, to regularly verify that environmental protection systems are operating properly.

The facility is double-lined throughout the landfill and triple-lined at the lowest area. The primary, secondary and tertiary liners are made of different materials including 60 mil High Density Polyethyline (HPDE) and geosynthetic clay (geotextile and bentonite composites).
