[Pharmwaste] Aurora HS in WI- $340K fine

[Shield, Margaret]

The $340,000 fine works out to $85,000 per year for four years of improper disposal of hazardous waste.  Is that amount a reasonable penalty and deterrent?

Obviously a number of facilities are still working on, or are out of compliance.  To say nothing of source reduction.
