Ecology penalties total $198,250 in the fourth

quarter of 2009

In the past three months, the Washington Department of Ecology issued $198,250 in penalties of $1,000 or more.

Penalties are given in cases where non-compliance continues after the Department of Ecology has provided technical assistance or warnings, or for particularly serious violations. The department ensures compliance with laws written to protect Washington's air, land and water resources with both businesses and individuals.

The most common accounts to receive penalties in the past three months included State Toxics Control, Oil Spill Prevention, Electronic Recyling and Underground Storage Tank. After a ruling with the Pollution Control Hearings Board, the final penalty amount will be determined.

The penalty payment benefits four accounts at the Department of Ecology: environmental restoration and enhancement projects, research and development, permitting and regulatory programs, and education and assistance.
