Empire Diversified Energy, Inc. announced that it has completed and signed a Master Services Agreement with Waste Management Corporation. This Agreement provides a wide variety of joint industry-specific opportunities for both companies. The initial joint venture between Empire Diversified and Waste Management potentially provides CCR (Coal Combustion Residues) solutions to the many power generating plants throughout the United States that, by Federal mandate, must provide written and workable proposals for the resolution of such problems before the end of 2016.

Empire Diversified Energy, Inc. is currently in negotiations with several U. S. utilities and expects to launch its first pilot program in the near future.
