Former plant owner to pay $350,000 in Clean Water Act penalties
March 11, 2010

The former owner of a dairy-products plant in West Point, Nebraska, is being assessed $350,000 in civil penalties by the EPA for violations of the Clean Water Act. The EPA says the violations lasted from the late 1970s through 2006, and caused the city to exceed limits for pollutants discharged to the Elkhorn River.

Dairy plants have challenging wastewater requirements, since they often have very high BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) loads, among other factors. Our PTFE-coated aeration diffusers have proven useful in dairy-waste applications due to their ability to resist calcium fouling. Questions? Let us know and we'll be happy to help.
