This breached various state laws on hazardous materials. Prosecutors noted that WaveDivision has cooperated with the investigations and initiated training programs for handling hazardous waste, which will help ensure compliance moving forward. The settlement includes $875,000 in penalties, with additional funds allocated for enforcement and environmental projects.
