Stericycle agrees to record $2.3 million fine that will be halved if company moves to Tooele County
2014-12-01 21:16:12| Waste Management - Topix.net
After more than a year of negotiations with state environmental regulators, Stericycle Inc. has agreed to a $2.3 million fine to resolve allegations that its North Salt Lake medical waste incinerator violated emission limits and rigged a stack test so that results would seem less than really were. The Division of Air Quality would waive half the record-setting fine if the Illinois-based waste processor successfully relocates its Utah operations to a remote Tooele County location on the western shore of the Great Salt Lake within three years of securing permits to construct and operate a new incinerator.
