deDicated to Protect the Environment

  • mission:

    The IT Environmental Liquidating Trust (ITELT) was established on May 1, 2004 (as part of concluding bankruptcy proceedings for IT Corporation) to oversee the long-term post-closure operation, maintenance and upkeep of four closed hazardous waste landfill facilities located in Northern California. The post-closure activities conducted at the four landfill facilities include maintaining landfill cover systems, groundwater protection remediation systems, treatment and evaporation of extracted groundwater in on-site liquid management systems, conducting extensive monitoring, inspections, caretaker maintenance, and reporting data to regulatory agencies. The ITELT is dedicated to be good stewards of the environment. The ITELT is under supervision of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and specific County Departments. The ITELT operates as a small business Trust that is funded by former IT Corporation and does not use public money. The ITELT provides local jobs for professional and technical positions for those who care about protecting the environment. The ITELT consists of a handful of responsible and dedicated employees with site-specific operational knowledge.
