Lansing, me. (WJRT) – The Ingham County Circuit Court has decided in favor of state supervisory authorities and punished the layer of montrose due to several violations of Michigan's environmental laws.
The court ordered Ponds to pay a civilian fine of $ 150,000 and prohibited the company of future violations of the law on natural resources and environmental protection from Michigan.
“Our environmental laws should protect our natural resources and our public health,” said Dana Nessel, Attorney General of Michigan.
Phil Roos, Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy Director of Michigan, emphasized the importance of these laws and said they are crucial for securing the natural resources of Michigan for current and future generations.
According to the public prosecutor, who is known for the construction of ponds and the offer of various excavation services, the layer -ponds have repeatedly not obtained any necessary permits or violated the approval conditions while they worked on projects in seven districts.
The company was the contractor who built a pond for the Wenzlick family in the Freeland area, which was examined by the Michigan, Great Lakes and Energy and Michigan General Prosecutor.
After submitting a complaint, the state supervisory authorities found that the pond was built in regulated wetlands and had to be partially filled out. The announced judgment on Thursday does not deal with the Wenzlick family's situation.
The first payment of 37,000 US dollars by Schlicht Ponds is due on October 14th, whereby the remaining balance will be paid in installments within one year.
