The product will reportedly neutralize petroleum- based oil and grease by molecularly converting most toxic, petroleum hydrocarbons into non-toxic, harm- less compounds which are safe for disposal. Distributed by Wegs International, Inc., STC Bison solutions use soponification, which results in a chemical reaction with undesirable hydrocarbons and does not emulsify oil and grease. The process is achieved by injecting or washing the contaminated water or soil with the appropriate STC Bison solution. The soap by-product of soponi- fication is water soluble, rendering the original petroleum compound water soluble and no longer toxic.

Robert F. McGhee, EPA Region 4 Water Division director, said, "Although the storm water require- ments are relatively new, EPA must ensure that the streams, rivers and waterways of Florida are pro- tected. As a step in that direction, we have issued the Orders and assessed penalties against facilities which are not complying with the requirements of the CWA." These enforcement actions were initiated as a result of inspections conducted in conjunction with the Miami River Coordinating Committee and included assistance from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Dade Environmental Resources Management, the Florida Marine Patrol and the City of Miami. Safety Negligence Costs Barge Owner $8.5 M The owner of an oil barge was recently fined $8.5 million, the largest reported environmental fine in New England history, as settlement for criminal charges that the vessel caused an oil spill off Rhode Island.
