O’Malley, and 28 other California district attorneys in announcing the settlement of a civil law enforcement action against Costco Wholesale Corpo-ration. The civil action was filed in Alameda County Superior Court, and the settlement resolves allegations that Costco violated California laws for the safe storage, handling and disposal of pharmaceutical, and pharmacy waste as well as other hazardous waste. The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office teamed up with the other DA offices as part of a joint investigation and prosecution to address statewide violations of law after San Joaquin County inspectors found R. K. Jacobs evidence of improper storage, handling and disposal of hazardous waste, and pharmaceutical waste products at Costco stores. Upon notification of the investigation, Costco officials cooperated with prosecutors and quickly Insurance Services, Inc. came into compliance with hazardous waste management regulations. The violations occurred over a five-year period at numerous Costco stores and distribution stores statewide, Home • Auto • Business including 5 stores in Sacramento County. District Attorney Jan Scully states, “Improper handling and disposal of hazardous waste creates a health Office (916) 966-3733 and safety risk to the citizens of Sacramento County and our environment. The District Attorney’s Consumer Fax (916) 966-0177 Environment Protection Unit remains aggressive in pursuing businesses that violate the state’s environmental laws.” 4777 Sunrise Blvd., Ste.

It also funds supplemental Fair Oaks, CA 95628 environmental projects furthering consumer protection and environmental enforcement in California.
