   Ongoing dangers posed by any chemical plant aren't disputed by Pamela Beilke, Apache's director of technical services. However, she says the company's environmental transgressions are history. "We've been in operation since the 1920s and--like many that have been in operation for a long time--our past disposal practices affected the shallow groundwater in the area. We've been actively involved in remediating that for a period of time now."
   
   As for the Clean Air settlement, "that was a finding of violation that we received from the EPA a number of years ago, related to emissions from our nitric acid plants during start-up of those plants."
   
   Beilke doesn't think Apache's environmental record "disqualifies us from sponsoring Earth Day." To highlight this turnaround, she cites a 2002 Governor's Pride in Arizona Award received by the company, after it developed a process to greatly reduce those start-up emissions. "Just because historical practices have resulted in contamination doesn't mean the company is not committed to the environment," Beilke says.
