The State - News from May 3, 1985
Five Mountain View electronics firms have been given strict deadlines to clean up their toxic wastes, and their names were submitted by water quality offficial to the environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund program. Environmentalists hailed the deadlines as “precedent-setting” and a “message to industry that foot-dragging. . . will not be tolerated.” The San Francisco Bay Regional Quality Control Board took the action after what it said was 3 1/2/ years of slow response by the companies to identify and clean up their joint contamination problem. The deadlines require the firms to accomplish certain tasks by specific datees, ranging from June 15 to Dec. 15. The firms are Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp, Intel Corp., Raytheon co., NEC Electronics inc., and Siltec Corp.
