EPA seeks prosecution of Rhom Haas over Texas pollution
The Environmental Protection Agency asked the Justice Department to prosecute Rhom and Haas Co for discharging wastes into the Houston Ship Channel at Deer Park Texas. The plant allegedly released 26 000 pounds of ammonia 380 pounds of nickel and 37 000 pounds of oxygen consuming wastes daily well above state limits. The action hinges on the 1899 Rivers and Harbors Act and follows the EPA’s formation last year. The case marks a shift as permits loom under new agency oversight.
