Hi NAGsters

The $8000 fine mightn't hurt too much but this might. From the article:

"The company has also been served a notice ordering full clean-up, restoration of the polluted land to its prior condition, and installation of controls to make sure slurry and liquid waste does not leak out again.If Economix Pty Ltd does not comply with the notice, they risk facing further fines."

Imagine the costs that might be incurred cleaning up PASS affected land, especially water table degradation. Surface repairs are hard enough but down deep would be very expensive to rehabilitate.

I cannot imagine a disposal company wanting any of this hanging over their heads.
