A salvage company has agreed to pay a fine to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to settle hazardous waste violations.

Eldo W.R.M.S., Inc., a commercial goods salvage wholesale and retail business based in Grandview, Mo., agreed to pay a $23,900 civil penalty to the EPA for a series of hazardous waste violations at its facility in Grandview.

The EPA said in a news release that in February 2010 it found several violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The violations included failure to perform hazardous waste determinations on multiple waste streams, storing hazardous wastes without a RCRA permit and offering hazardous waste for transport without a hazardous waste manifest.

The violations involved the storage of at least seven types of waste pharmaceuticals. The EPA also stated that the facility had shipped hazardous waste pharmaceuticals to a medical waste incinerator for disposal without using a required hazardous waste manifest.

With the agreement Eldo certified that it is now in compliance with RCRA.
