A sand-and-gravel mine in Ridgefield, Wash., has been fined $10,840 by the state of Washington for failing to prevent water pollution during its operations.
The Washington Department of Ecology issued the penalty to Circle C Rock Products.
Ecology inspections in March and April found the operation was discharging muddy water into Mud Lake. Ecology also cited the firm for not monitoring its water discharges and for failing to respond to oil spills on its property. Both are required under the sand-and-gravel permit issued to the company, which aims to protect the environment from pollution.
