US(PA): BrightFarms accused of illegal water discharge
This was said by officials of the Department of Environmental Protection in a separate report and letter that was sent to the grower.
According to the article, the DEP inspection also found several bags of unknown materials stored outside the greenhouse's commercial trash bins and trailers. It was said that the bags violate certain DEP rules and regulations because they represent a potential for pollution, officials said in the letter.
BrightFarms has 30 days to respond to the DEP letter and describe the steps it is taking to properly dispose of the waste pond water and how it will store the bags of dry materials somewhere inside the greenhouse. The company could face civil penalties.
