Emerald Kalama

We regulate water, hazardous waste, and cleanup activities at the Emerald Kalama Chemical plant.

Facility information

Emerald Kalama began operating an organic chemical plant in 1962 and currently has about 215 employees at its Kalama plant. It processes toluene into chemicals for food, flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries.

It produces about 194,000 tons of chemicals each year.
Wastewater from the chemical-making process is treated and sent to the Columbia River. This makes up approximately 2 percent of all the wastewater from this facility.
About 98 percent of what is sent to the Columbia River is non-contact cooling water.
