ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
Recently the Company was notified by Honeywell International, Inc. that waste
shipments from the New Jersey site had been delayed. The delay was not caused by
the Company and the Contract between Honeywell and the Company remains in full
force and effect.
American Ecology will assess Honeywell certain fees for not meeting minimum
weekly shipment requirements as provided for under the Contract. The Company
will also pay certain fees to its New Jersey subcontractor as provided for in
separate sub-contract. Management is presently working with Honeywell and its
subcontractors to minimize delay costs.
The Company can make no assurance of when or how much Chromium Ore Processing
Residue will be shipped to the Company's facilities or that Honeywell will
favorably or timely resolve the matters causing such delay in the project.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by
reference herein.
