	<blockquote>The Alkali Lake Chemical Waste Disposal site—located thirty-five miles east of Christmas Valley and sixty miles north of Lakeview—has contributed a controversial environmental and financial legacy to Oregon. The isolated, fenced-off, ten-acre site contains covered trenches that hold the remnants of 25,000 fifty-five-gallon drums full of chemical waste.		<blockquote>The Alkali Lake Chemical Waste Disposal site—located thirty-five miles east of [[Christmas Valley]] and sixty miles north of Lakeview—has contributed a controversial environmental and financial legacy to Oregon. The isolated, fenced-off, ten-acre site contains covered trenches that hold the remnants of 25,000 fifty-five-gallon drums full of chemical waste.

	In 1969, Chemical Waste Storage and Disposition Inc., a Beaverton company, was granted a permit by the Oregon Department of Agriculture to begin dumping herbicidal chemicals at the facility. The chemicals included dioxins and phenols used for the toxic Agent Orange defoliant, which the military deployed during the Vietnam War. In 1971, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environmental Quality halted deliveries to the disposal site in response to charges that the company was a “public nuisance.” The company's workers were charged with using “improper handling practices,” and barrels at the site were unattended and leaking....

			== The #Monsatan Factor ==

			"#Monsatan" is a Twitter hashtag in regular use. The widespread use of this term by environmental activists reflects the depths of the company's PR problem and the extent of its need for greenwashing. With Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto in 2016, Bloomberg explicitly addressed this issue in the article: "Monsanto’s #Monsatan Factor and What Bayer Can Do About It."<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-20/monsanto-s-monsatan-factor-and-what-bayer-needs-to-do-about-it#xj4y7vzkg</ref>

			According to Urban Dictionary:

			<blockquote>'''Monsatan''' refers to the evil empire constructed by the Monsanto Corporation. Farmers started using this term around 2000 when the company began charging tech fees for genetically modified soybeans with resistance to Roundup herbicide and raised the price of their Roundup chemicals at the same time. In recent years the term has enjoyed expanded usage when describing Monsanto's efforts to impact the entire food chain with their genetically modified products.<ref>

			In 2009, through further legal action, the State of Oregon received $700,000 from Bayer CropScience—a successor corporation of the waste’s producer—to compensate for prior and future cleanup work on the site, estimated at $2.45 million. The cleanup work included bulldozing a layer of gravel over the leaking barrels and monitoring groundwater contamination. Lake County commissioners and the Oregon Natural Desert Association unsuccessfully lobbied for a comprehensive—and expensive—cleanup operation....
