Peoria Disposal Co.`s PDC Laboratories: Analyzing and cleaning up -- Literally
In the early 1980s, says Royal Coulter, president and CEO of Peoria Disposal Co. (PDC, Peoria, IL), many PDC customers were unfamiliar with the methods required for the proper characterization of then newly regulated hazardous wastes. So in early 1981, to expedite permitting and, ultimately, acceptance of waste by PDC, a lab was set up so the company could step in and provide the needed services. By focusing on the delivery of quality services in the analysis of groundwater, wastewater, and solid waste for PDC, Coulter says, the laboratory soon developed into a successful and independent commercial operation. In July of 1981, PDC Laboratories was incorporated as an independent environmental analytical laboratory. PDC Labs is a subsidiary of PDC Technical Services, Inc., which provides environmental consulting and site remediation services, and is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coulter Companies, Inc. Peoria Disposal offers solid waste disposal, industrial waste water treatment, waste stabilization, transportation services, and brokerage services.
