About Us

Citizens to Close Greenway Environmental is a new, old organization. You see, since the the March 27, 1997 fire at Chief Supply Corporation what is now know as Greenway Environmental, citizens have been organized to see that the facility be operated in a safemanner within the law.

For the past two years these citizens have tried to work with the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Greenway Environmental (GEI) to see that this facility is operated in amanner that protects the health and safety of the employees and local area residents.

In July of 1999 members of the steering committee decided based on the past history of Chief Supply Corporation and present day events at Greenway Environmental that it was time to reorganize to Close Greenway Environmental. We're not the first citizens group to deal with this facility, but we will be the last.

When Greenway Environmental took over this hazardous waste facility they promised a "State of the Art Facility" to be operated safely and within the law. However, history has once again begun to repeat itself. In the past year Greenway Environmental has...

experienced a major fire
had multiple notices of violation from the ODEQ
made threats of a lawsuit against citizens who have every right to question their operation
recently had a transportation accident involving hazardous debris catching on fire

These were are all events that occurred on a regular basis when the facility was called Chief Supply Corporation.

This Web site is sponsored by Citizens to Close Greenway Environmental as a public service to the community. On this site you will find all the things that Greenway Environmental would rather you did not know about.

This hazardous waste facility has been nothing more than a nuisance to the public. It's "safe" operation has been a joke. WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE ABUSE and the constant need to see that this facility operates safely and within the law. We intend to see that their permit be revoked, the facility closed and the site declared a superfund site.

Sincerely,
The Steering Committee
Citizens to Close Greenway Environmental
