Hologic Inc. (NSDQ:HOLX) inked a deal with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to settle alleged hazardous waste violations at a Third Wave Technologies facility in Madison, Wis.
The Bedford, Mass.-based women’s health products company, which bought Third Wave in 2008 for $580 million, agreed to pay an $87,400 penalty to settle the case.
The EPA said a February, 2007, inspection at the site turned up "multiple violations of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act" at the Madison facility. Third Wave failed to obtain a hazardous waste storage license, train personnel and keep training records, maintain records, conduct and document daily inspection requirements for its hazardous waste tank system and make service arrangements with state and local authorities, according to the agency.
