AMPOL Receives Additional National Response Corporation Equipment; Increases Total Response Resources

American Pollution Control Corp. (AMPOL), a leading oil spill response and total environmental solutions provider, has been selected by the National Response Corporation (NRC) to store and maintain a large stock of NRC Emergency Response Equipment.

Previously owned by Seacor Marine, NRC was purchased by an investment company and subsequently in need of a place to relocate their equipment. NRC chose to house their equipment in AMPOL’s New Iberia, La., facility, increasing AMPOL’s emergency response equipment inventory to one of the largest stored in the South and maintained by a privately held company.

Equipment stored and maintained by AMPOL includes portable barges, skimmers, boom, boom rollers, anchors, hoses and a fire boom.

"Having this additional inventory of emergency response equipment on-site and ready to use increases AMPOL's total response resources," said AMPOL President and CEO Kirk Headley. "Our recent facility expansion and other upgrades have allowed us to acquire and store additional equipment to be ready at a moment's notice if a need arises."

As a total environmental solutions provider AMPOL focuses on restoration, going beyond response and cleanup. AMPOL employs nearly 200 employees and offers oil spill response, tank cleaning, confined space entry services, naturally occurring radioactive material (N.O.R.M.) treatment and storage, lead and asbestos abatement services, insulation services, hazardous material (HAZ-MAT) emergency cleanup, soil remediation, demolition services, marine transportation and spill equipment manufacturing.
