Summary:
This series contains responses from two hazardous waste surveys. The first was conducted by Department of Environmental Conservation
headquarters (Albany) staff in 1976-1977, where staff interviewed companies throughout the state that were engaged in hazardous
waste activities and completed a form template. The second was administered by the Interagency Task Force (IATF) investigating
waste disposal in Erie and Niagara Counties in 1978-1979. Files for the second survey include responses from multiple companies,
including Allied Chemical Corporation, Hooker Chemical & Plastics Corporation, and Union Carbide Corporation.

Scope and Content Note
The first survey documented in this series was apparently conducted by Department of Environmental Conservation headquarters
(Albany) staff in 1976-1977, and does not appear to be related to Love Canal per se (formal investigations into Love Canal
began in late 1977). Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) staff interviewed companies throughout the state that
were engaged in hazardous waste activities and completed a form template. The 14-page forms were typewritten; responses were
handwritten. This set contains only DEC Region 9 related records which include companies that were involved in hazardous waste
disposal at Love Canal.
The series also contains responses from a 1978-1979 hazardous waste survey that were collected by the Interagency Task Force
(IATF), which investigated waste disposal in Erie and Niagara Counties. Completed forms containing information about hazardous
waste disposal were received from 69 organizations. The 6-page forms were typewritten. Files include responses from multiple
companies, including Allied Chemical Corporation, Hooker Chemical & Plastics Corporation, and Union Carbide Corporation. Information
provided on the survey forms includes identity and contact information for the company that disposed of the hazardous waste,
what chemicals were dumped, disposal location, and carrier of the hazardous material.
