CLIPPER OIL - Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility in San Diego, California

CLIPPER OIL is a hazardous waste treatment facility situated at 1000 N Harbor Dr in San Diego, California, within the United States. The facility is operational and serves the San Diego County area, handling hazardous waste treatment under the classification of NAICS code 562219, which covers other nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Hazardous waste treatment facilities in California are subject to stringent regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and state-specific hazardous waste management laws. These regulations govern the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials to protect human health and the environment. As a hazardous waste treatment facility in a major urban and port city, CLIPPER OIL plays a critical role in managing industrial and commercial waste streams. Its location near the San Diego Bay and residential areas necessitates robust environmental controls, including spill prevention, air emission management, and groundwater monitoring. The facility contributes to the region's waste management infrastructure, supporting local industries and environmental protection.

San Diego's coastal location and Mediterranean climate create specific environmental considerations for hazardous waste treatment. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay requires stringent leachate and runoff management to prevent contamination of marine ecosystems. The facility must also address air quality concerns due to the region's susceptibility to smog and particulate matter, with regulations under the Clean Air Act governing emissions of volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants. Groundwater protection is critical given the area's reliance on local aquifers for drinking water.
