The company handles medical waste at Columbia Lewis Gale Hospital.
An enzyme and chemical formula is used to treat medical wastes.
Fuqua alleges the formula is NOT approved by the state, so medical wastes
are being illegally and improperly dumped in an Amelia County landfill.
He says these practices put converter operators and hospital employees at
risk.
The D-E-Q is conducting its own investigation.
It says the company is cited for non-compliance, including the failure to
report waste spills and failure to do quality testing.

A spokesperson for Bio-Conversions says Fuqua has tried to purchase the
company in the past and this suit is an attempt to squelch an upcoming merger

News 7 was unable to reach Fuqua. Lewis Gale Hospital says it has
been in contact with the D-E-Q-- and so far there's no indication that any
wastes have been improperly disposed.
