The corporate defendant was sentenced for eight environmental offences, including permitting the transportation of waste in unapproved vehicles, failing to take representative samples, storing waste in an unapproved area, and depositing hazardous waste at a non-hazardous landfill site.
The court considered the defendant's extensive prior record of environmental convictions as an aggravating factor, while acknowledging some mitigating efforts to comply and upgrade facilities.
The court imposed a total of $144,000 in fines, including the mandatory minimum $100,000 fine for the hazardous waste deposit offence.
