SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. — The Western Sugar Cooperative will pay a fine and invest at least $350,000 in pollution-control upgrades at its Nebraska Panhandle plant.
The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday that the Denver-based cooperative would pay nearly $57,000 in fines and improve its Scottsbluff plant.
The EPA says the plant discharged extremely high levels of fecal-coliform bacteria into the North Platte River on at least 14 occasions between December 2007 and January 2010.
