Environment - US EPA fines Reilly $88,468

"EPA fines Reilly $88,468: Officials not told right away about chemical releases" is the headline to a story today in the Indianapolis Star by Tammy Webber. Some quotes:

An Indianapolis chemical company has been fined $88,468 for failing to immediately notify federal and state officials after releasing hazardous chemicals in late 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday. * * *

Leaks must be reported to the National Response Center and state and local authorities as soon as they're discovered so local emergency responders can protect people living or working in the area, Richard Karl, director of the EPA's Region 5 Superfund division, said in a written statement.
