As disclosed in an 8-K filed on November
20, 2018, an explosion occurred at the Company’s Grand View, Idaho waste facility on November 17, 2018. The entire Grand
View waste facility has been closed since the incident occurred. Since that time, we have re-routed waste to our other facilities
wherever possible.
On February 8, 2019, the Company resumed
direct landfill disposal operations at our Grand View Idaho waste facility after receiving a temporary authorization from the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”). Waste treatment activities at the facility remain closed pending the
completion of the various investigations, reconstruction of damaged facilities and authorization from the IDEQ. We continue to
conduct our own internal investigation and support external investigations from IDEQ, United States Environmental Protection Agency
(“EPA”) and Occupational Safety and Health Association (“OSHA”) surrounding the cause of the November 17,
2018 incident.

Act.
