Durga will pay fine for waste violations
TWINSBURG: A Summit County company agreed to pay a $22,920 civil fine to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to resolve hazardous-waste violations.

The company also failed to properly mark hazardous-waste storage containers, did not provide fire-control, spill-control and decontamination equipment in the storage area, failed to develop and maintain a hazardous-waste contingency plan and failed to develop and implement a hazardous-waste training program for employees.
Ohio Circuits makes printed circuit boards and is a large-quantity generator of hazardous wastes.
