Disposal Violations
Fond Du Lac, WI: (May-08-08) The Wisconsin Department of Justice brought charges against United Liquid Waste Recycling, Inc., of Clyman, Dodge County, alleging that the company violated the state's environmental protection laws. The suit, filed at the request of the Department of Natural Resources, stated that the company, which stores and processes liquid industrial and municipal wastes at its main facility in the town of Clyman, Dodge County, spreads liquid industrial and municipal wastes at a variety of sites near its main facility.
Federal agencies stated that United Liquid Waste Recycling failed to comply with certain requirements that are mandated for handling liquid industrial and municipal wastes in Dodge and Columbia Counties from 2003 through 2007. The permits in question require industrial waste facilities to document all discharge and monitoring activity as well as record the number of acres landspread on daily log sheets. These records are to be maintained for at least 3 years. Additionally, industrial waste facilities are required by law to control air emissions so as not to result in objectionable odors.
As part of a settlement reached in the case, United Liquid Waste Recycling agreed to pay $150,000 to resolve the state's allegations. Apart from the monetary payout, the company also agreed to take certain steps to minimize malodorous emissions. [FON DU LAC REPORTER: DODGE COUNTY WASTE RECYCLER ORDERED TO PAY $150,000]
