Connecticut companies agreed to pay hazardous waste fines
Two Connecticut companies, owned by the same parent company, say they will pay large fines to the federal Environmental Protection Agency for hazardous waste violations.
The EPA has reached a settlement with the companies in Meriden and Bridgeport, for alleged violations of hazardous waste laws in 2003.
Federal officials have fined United Oil Recovery Inc. of Meriden $119,392 for unacceptable waste and Bridgeport United Recycling $205,798 for alleged violations.
Officials say the violations were discovered during an inspection at the Bridgeport plant that showed a faulty control device used to reduce organic air emissions.
The companies had disputed the allegations.
