EPA issues $30,000 fine for illegal Nebraska dam
September 8, 2010
The EPA has issued a $30,000 fine to a Nebraska landowner and an earthmoving contractor for
building an unapproved earthen dam in
Wayne County. The EPA says the dam stopped up a portion of a tributary feeding Spring Branch Creek, and it should have been approved before construction by the
Omaha District of the Corps of Engineers, which has jurisdiction over the streams in the area.
