Hospitals fined $451K

HARRISBURG, pa.

Capping a two-year investigation, the Department of Environmental Protection fined 12 UPMC hospitals a total of $451,000 for violations of the Solid Waste Management Act. The action was taken after inspectors for DEP’s Waste Management found that large quantities of untreated regulated medical waste were transported to Waste Management Inc.’s Monroeville landfill.

DEP inspectors conducted follow-up inspections at a number of UPMC facilities and two Allegheny Health Network hospitals. Those inspections revealed additional violations including improper labeling, storage and handling of regulated medical waste.
