Navy disputes severity of state fines for hazardous waste
violation
The
Star-Bulletin
reports
that "The Navy has asked the state Health Department for a hearing to dispute
the severity of three hazardous waste violations that led to a $81,000 fine. The
three hazardous waste violations occurred at Pearl Harbor during the past two
years. [...] The violations were for allegedly improper disposal of paint
thinners used to clean air filters used in painting booths; mismanaging the
collection and disposal of hazardous waste materials stored in 55-gallon drums;
and failing to correctly label containers holding hazardous waste
materials."
