As part of a plea agreement, the company has agreed to pay a maximum of $250,000 in fines to resolve a few months of pollution. It’s the first state penalty against the company despite nearly four years of violations flagged by DEQ.
I’m not an “eye for an eye” guy (because truly, there’s no proportional punishment for environmental destruction), but anyone responsible for this should have to live there. Your other properties are forfeited and you now live on that river and drink that water - no municipal services for you. You made your bath, now drink it.
Some people are going to jail right?
Like fuck they are.
Lmao $250k. I wonder what their profit was just last quarter.
That $250,000 fine will truly show that crime is only a cost of business.

We should probably allow sewage system access so they don’t make the problem worse. But no Internet
They can have a septic but I’ll allow a combination well / septic.
Agreed, but only if they’re paying for annual inspections out of their own pocket
Nah, it’s a “company” so nothing will happen.
It’s their freedom of speech to act as they have.
