Conyers, GA, October 18, 2024 – BioLab today provided an update regarding the successful completion of emergency response operations at its Conyers facility. As announced by the Unified Command, the chemicals at the site have been treated and/or secured, the site is no longer producing fumes, and the EPA has recorded 72 hours of no air quality exceedances in the community. Additionally, Rockdale County lifted the shelter-in-place order for the entire county as of October 17.

“We are immensely grateful to the Unified Command team, first responders, and Rockdale County leadership, who worked tirelessly with BioLab and the technical specialists we deployed, to get us to this important stage of remediation,” said Michael Sload, CEO of BioLab’s parent company, KIK Consumer Products. “The Unified Command led a complex process requiring careful planning and execution, prioritized the public’s health and safety at all times, and played a critical role in unifying communications for all of us, and in coordinating regular updates to the community during the response. We are also profoundly thankful to the entire community for enduring what we recognize has been an extraordinarily challenging time, and we are committed to making things right. As we move forward, we remain actively focused on supporting impacted local residents and business owners by continuing to get them the assistance they need.”

With the emergency response phase concluded and the Unified Command disbanding, BioLab will shift its focus to ongoing remediation efforts. Overseen by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD), this will include safe waste disposal, remediation of the facility property and the nearby retention pond, and debris recovery from residences and the community.

BioLab has also stood up a number of initiatives to support the community. As of October 17, the Company has:

  • Launched a 24/7 call center that has fielded more than 7,500 calls, helping with claims, reimbursement requests, and more
  • Opened an in-person Community Assistance Center that has assisted approximately 300 community members
  • Set up a debris collection service that has completed more than 100 debris removal requests on private properties, in addition to the work that has been done to clear debris from public areas and roads
  • Appointed a Community Liaison who has been on the ground engaging with residents and local businesses to understand their needs.

For more information and to access these and other resources, visit BioLab’s dedicated website: www.BioLabCommunityResources.com. For immediate assistance with filing claims, community members are encouraged to contact BioLab’s 24/7 call center at (678) 301-2359
