American Enviro. Partners Shuts Doors, Lays Off “Dozens” of Workers

We now have more insight (possibly) into why radioactive frack wastewater handler and processor Austin Master Services (AMS) is in trouble with the Ohio Attorney General. Three weeks ago, Ohio AG Dave Yost took legal action seeking to force AMS to correct “egregious violations of Ohio law” regarding the storage of oil and gas waste that he says threatens the Ohio River and Martins Ferry’s drinking water supply (see Ohio AG Sues Austin Master Services for Unsafe Storage of Wastewater). AMS is a subsidiary of (owned and controlled by) American Environmental Partners (AEP). The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that AEP recently closed its doors and laid off most (if not all) of its employees. AEP owns AMS and several other subsidiaries affected by AEP's closure.
