Water Pollution Violations
Milwaukee, WI: (Apr-07-08) The Wisconsin Department of Justice brought charges against general contractor Edward Kraemer & Sons Inc., of Plain, alleging that it violated state water pollution laws during construction work on a Rock County bridge project in 2005 and 2006.
The complaint was filed, stating that that Edward Kraemer & Sons failed to maintain adequate erosion control measures, while it worked on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation bridge project on state Highway 140 over Turtle Creek in the town of Bradford. Officials stated that as a result of the oversight, polluting sediment was allegedly discharged into Turtle Creek, a key Rock County waterway. The federal agency said that Wisconsin law required that contractors properly manage construction sites to protect state waters from polluting runoff through proper erosion control measures.
As part of a settlement reached in the case, Edward Kraemer & Sons Inc. agreed to pay $100,000 to resolve allegations. Rock County Circuit Court Judge James Welker approved the settlement. [MILWAUKEE BUSINESS JOURNAL: CONTRACTOR EDWARD KRAMER TO PAY $100,000 PENALTY]
