An estimated 50 or 60 contractors specializing in water cleanup now gross approximately $50 million/yr. They expect their business to take another jump now that the US Environmental Protection Agency has designated 271 chemicals as hazardous and subject to the same reporting and cleanup procedures as oil spills.
