Palo Alto Weekly • Wednesday, September 5, 2007 • Page 7 Upfront NO FEE Consignment At... PALO ALTO European News Digest Romic ordered to shut down EPA facility Romic Environmental Technologies Corp. was ordered Thursday to shutter its East Palo Alto facility at 2081 Bay Road, ceasing all waste processing immediately, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Department of Toxic Substances Control said. The closure will require the 10 acres of land cleaned and rendered safe SALES enough for other economic uses, according to the order. Although Romic agreed with the order, saying that it is in the public’s View our entire inventory at www.paloaltoeuropean.com or best interest, the company will still be under state investigation. email us at [email protected] In particular, the department’s examiners will be looking into Romic’s 2006 release of chemicals into the air as well as an incident in which an 3045 Park Blvd., Palo Alto 650-324-3444 employee was burned. Thursday’s order came after a May 30 order from the state toxics “COMMITTED TO A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE” agency that Romic shut down its hazardous waste-treatment operations — 70 percent of its operations — citing “an unacceptable risk to public health and the environment.” Romic was ordered not to handle, treat or store hazardous bulk liquid waste in containers larger than 85 gallons, and not to store bulk liquid Jane Austen’s romantic comedy comes to waste in tanks. Following the order, Romic had 20 days to respond and request a hear- the stage in a world premiere musical ing, according to spokeswoman Angela Blanchette. The order was stayed after Romic appealed, however. The state agency’s May enforcement order charged Romic with unsafe operations, reckless disregard for the risk of serious injury to an employee, and violation of a previous $849,500 civil judgment brought by the DTSC in April 2005. The agency found Romic culpable for the chemical release and the employee-burning incidents, but the Stipulation and Order issued Thurs- day did not encompass charges for those cases. Most recently, an employee received first and second-degree burns on his ears when a 55-gallon drum of flammable liquids burst into flames Aug. 1. A mixture of flammable solvents ignited, according to an Aug. 3 report the company filed with the DTSC. The worker’s injury did not require overnight hospitalization, so it was not required to be reported, according to Kate McGuire, spokeswoman for the California Department of Industrial Relations Occupational Safe- ty and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA). Romic ceased taking shipments of hazardous materials on Aug. 3 and has only been processing chemicals stored on site, company spokesman Chris Stampolis said. In addition to closing its facilities, Romic will be required to provide evidence of decontamination, ranging from soil samples to groundwater evidence. The company will also be required to prove that its equipment and buildings are sterile. Groundwater cleanup will be supervised by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, officials said. Emma Full disclosure of the conditions of the closure as well as a public hearing will be set in the coming months.

PIAZZA'S WEEKEND CUISINE ... The instant success of expanding Piazza’s Deli to include barbecued ribs and Indian food, prepared outdoors in a parking lot in front of a market took Gary Piazza by surprise. “I decided last year to try it out on the weekends in the summer,” said Piazza, who owns Piazza’s Fine Foods in Charleston Cen- ter with his dad and two brothers. So a makeshift canopied cooking area was constructed in front of the store, with a grill on one side and a Tandoori oven on the other. While Piazza thought the barbecued in a privately owned and managed chicken, ribs, tri-tip and Italian sausages would be popular, he could not have predicted the overwhelming response to the food cooked in senior rental community. the Tandoori oven. “I completely underestimated how much people love Indian food,” he said, adding, “We go through at least 200 Naan At beautiful Palo Alto Commons, you'll find a vibrant and warm environment that creates a priceless and breads every weekend.” Piazza hired Ajay Walia, owner of Saffron inspiring feeling of independence and dignity.
