Fish Kill in the River Blackwater: Discussion
2:00 am
Dr. Tom Ryan:
I thank the Deputy. His analogy is an excellent one. That is the way enforcement works. We give a warning, we escalate matters and with regard to that facility, we concluded a prosecution of it in April. We have been on-site raising non-compliance with it and it came back into compliance after some investment on-site. It was in June of this year that it had an incident that set the plant back again. It is in serious non-compliance at the moment. All of those options remain on the table.
