You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Wyle Laboratories''' ('''Wyle''') was an American privately held provider of engineering, scientific and technical services to the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]], [[NASA]], and a variety of commercial customers primarily in the [[aerospace industry]]. The company offered services in the areas of test and evaluation; systems engineering and information technology; life cycle and acquisition program management; life sciences research; space medical operations and engineering; and qualification testing for systems and components.

Founded in 1949, the company is still headquartered in [[El Segundo, California]], and has approximately 4,800 employees at more than 50 facilities nationwide. Wyle comprises three primary operating entities: Aerospace Group, CAS Group, and Integrated Science, Technology, and Engineering Group. Annual revenue is approximately $1.1 billion.

==History==
Founded in 1949 by Frank S. Wyle (1919–2016)<ref>((Cite web|date=2008|title=Interview of Frank S. Wyle|url=https://oralhistory.library.ucla.edu/catalog/21198-zz000s65d5|access-date=2021-02-20|website=UCLA Library, Center for Oral History Research))</ref> as part of the rapidly expanding Southern California aerospace industry, Wyle Laboratories, Inc. began operations in [[El Segundo, California|El Segundo]], [[California]] as a testing laboratory.<ref>((Cite web|date=2016-09-16|title=Frank Wyle, aerospace innovator and L.A. museum benefactor, dies at 97|url=https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-frank-wyle-20160914-snap-story.html|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Los Angeles Times|language=en-US))</ref> Frank S. Wyle was married to [[Edith R. Wyle]] and is the grandfather of actor [[Noah Wyle]] and artist [[Sonia Romero]].

Over time, the company diversified into a variety of markets and businesses. Through a buy-out in 1995, the company was split into Wyle Electronics and the Scientific Services and Systems Group, which continued to operate as Wyle Laboratories. In 2007, the company decided to simplify its name to Wyle since its primary business focus had evolved into a range of services. It still operates laboratories, but its primary business focus is on securing long term services contracts from the Department of Defense, NASA and other Federal agencies.

In 1998, Wyle acquired Krug Life Sciences, an aero-medical research company with 30-plus years of history supporting NASA's crewed space flight programs. In January 2005, Wyle acquired the [[General Dynamics]] Aeronautics division, formerly a part of Veridian, adding aviation research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) expertise to the company's portfolio.

In 2008, Wyle acquired RS Information Systems, which today is the company's third primary business group, providing services as Wyle Information Systems Group. The acquisition brought total annual revenue to $800 million and the total number of employees to 4,200, giving Wyle an additional presence in the Washington D.C. "Beltway" area. In a subsequent reorganization, Wyle's heritage Test, Engineering and Research Group was folded into the Aerospace Group, returning the organization to three primary business groups, but with an emphasis on aerospace and IT systems rather than independent test and evaluation. The unit was subsequently split off again in late 2010 and operates as an independent unit within Wyle.

In May 2009, Wyle entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by [[Court Square Capital Partners]], an investment company which is now the majority shareholder.

In September 2010, Wyle bought the CAS unit from ITT and organized it as the company's fourth operating group. The CAS Group provides a range of services to the U.S. Army and related customers.

In 2016, KBR purchased Wyle for $570 million becoming KBRwyle<ref>((Cite web|url=https://kbr.com/about/newsroom/press-releases/2016/07/05/kbr-acquires-government-services-company-wyle|title=KBR Acquires Government Services Company, Wyle &#124; KBR))</ref>

==Norco, California Facility and Resulting Groundwater Contamination==
The Wyle Labs facility in [[Norco, California]] was established in 1957 for military testing, working with [[aerospace]] firms and on [[nuclear research]] programs. The facility first came under scrutiny in 1999 and the early 2000s for [[groundwater contamination]] to the site and surrounding areas as a result of mishandling and improper disposal of chemicals.

[[Groundwater]] tested on site was shown to contain [[trichloroethylene]] at levels 128 times higher than the state's limit for drinking water, as reported by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The chemical is often used to remove grease from metal and to clean liquid oxygen and hydrogen tanks. Side effects of immediate exposure include respiratory problems and headaches, and has produced [[liver tumors]] in mice.<ref>((Cite web|date=2002|title=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-feb-19-me-norco19-story.html|access-date=2023-11-13|website=Los Angeles Times))</ref>

[[Riverside County]] health officials also reported detecting [[hydrazine]], a rocket fuel once used in Wyle's tests, in two local wells. County inspectors also discovered faulty chemical inventory records at Wyle and incomplete training documents.<ref>((Cite web|date=2002|title=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-feb-19-me-norco19-story.html|access-date=2023-11-13|website=Los Angeles Times))</ref>

The [[U.S. Environmental Protection Agency]] determined that the site was so polluted that it was eligible for a spot on the National [[Superfund]] list. The agency later declined to list it, as the state was overseeing site cleanup. In 2003, Wyle signed an order with the state [[California Department of Toxic Substances Control]] agreeing to find and clean up all contamination from the site.<ref>((Cite web|date=2005|title=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-apr-04-me-wyle4-story.html|access-date=2023-11-13|website=Los Angeles Times))</ref>

The [[Norco High School]] property, adjacent to the former lab, tested positive for [[trichloroethylene]] at 61 micrograms per liter in a California Department of Toxic Substance Control report from August 16, 2005.<ref>((Cite web|date=2016|title=Cal DTSC|url=https://dtsc.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2017/11/WyleLabs_Transmittal_Sampling-Results.pdf|access-date=2023-11-13|website=California Department of Toxic Substance Control))</ref>

As of 2021, Groundwater monitoring and site cleanup is still ongoing.<ref>((Cite web|date=2021|title=Cal DTSC|url=https://dtsc.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2021/08/Wyle-Labs-Project-Update-Deep-Groundwater-Monitoring-Installation-Community-Update.pdf|access-date=2023-11-13|website=California Department of Toxic Substance Control))</ref>
