NEWPORT, N.H. (AP) -- The federal Environmental Protection Agency says two New Hampshire companies will pay a $200,000 civil penalty to resolve Clean Water Act violations at five facilities in New Hampshire and Vermont.
Officials say Newport Sand and Gravel Co. and Carroll Concrete Co., Inc., also will put in place storm water reduction measures to reduce the impacts of storm water discharges at the two sites in Newport, N.H. and three others in Berlin, Guildhall and Swanton, Vt.
The EPA says the companies were accused of discharging process waste waters including waters from sand and gravel and concrete production and storm water without proper permits.
