We are pleased to finally reach an agreement on major remedies to deal with major water pollution problems.

We're issuing this brown water advisory as a precaution because heavy rains are going to wash whatever pollution on the land into the streams and into the ocean.

We still feel it's important to have them pay a penalty for the past violations.

We are moving ahead with these four additional hires and we are in the recruitment process now. We are going to the legislature to ask them to ratify this move that we're making.

We want to give people information, advice, but at this point I don't want to be alarmist about it either because there are worse things.

They're building a large burn or wall at the bottom of the landfill to make sure the waste stays in place.

Any application involving that facility will probably take a lot of time to process. It's a big job.

You want to keep garbage covered so rats, flies, other insects and disease vectors can't get in there and spread things.

The department sees these as serious violations, which warrants large penalties.
