EPA Fines Chemical Waste Management $300,000 For Cancer-Causing Chemicals At Kettleman Hills Landfill, West's Largest Toxic Dump: "A vast toxic waste dump at the center of a birth defects controversy in Central California has been fined more than $300,000 for allowing cancer-causing chemicals to leach into the soil, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.
