Cheese Maker Pays Heavy Price for River Pollution | Madison News
Description
A cheese maker in Green County just paid a brutal price for dumping pollutants into the Pecatonica River—$237,500 in fines plus $1.75 million for cleanup, plus probation. The owner faced $100,000 and probation too, after admitting they knew about the violations and tried to cover them up. This isn’t just a business scandal—it’s a stark environmental wake-up call under the Clean Water Act, showing how breaking environmental laws hits everyone. The company says they’ve installed new wastewater tech, cooperated with the EPA, and are cleaning up their act—hopefully for good.
