Moreover, the state sets some of the environmental definitions - a key one to CBI is the state of Florida's stringent definition of petroleum contact water. Among the key points of the regulations is that used oil must be tested to determine the hazard that it poses, before disposal is commenced. CBI tests used oil both at the customer site and then when it arrives at the Miami facility.

The county and city governments also have their own environmental regulations, and Cliff Berry must adhere to those as well. There are specific statutes with regards to the Miami River and air pollution in both the city and Miami-Dade county.

Plans for the Future

Cliff Berry Inc. has undertaken significant expansion in the past few years. They have taken on a large role in the servicing of the cruise ship industry, and have begun to expand their market with respect to cargo ships as well.

They have also expanded geographically from their Florida base. They've moved into other southeastern markets with the opening of a new facility in Virginia and plan to expand further into the southeast.

Florida's position as the gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean has been leveraged over the past few years by CBI and they have begun to build up a share in those markets as well. Geographic expansion is at present the primary means for growth at CBI. They anticipate that as they grow their share in the South Florida market they will be able to expand...

They are also looking to increase their market share in the field of site work - recovering polluted industrial sites and providing on-site expertise in the field of wastewater recovery.
