by Lake Ontario Keeper
On Monday, September 9, 2002, Hay Bay Genetics and the company's Farm Manager Mark Davis were each fined $5,000 after being convicted of
violating pollution prevention sections of the Fisheries Act last February.
In addition to the $10,000 fine, the Court also awarded $25,000 to the Cataraqui Conservation Authority.
The charges related to pollution incidents which occurred on September 22nd, November 4th and December 4th, 1998 when the company permitted the deposit of barnyard storm sewer effluent in an area and under conditions whereby the effluent could enter Lake Ontario's Bay of Quinte. It was also found that the farm and its officers failed to comply with a Direction issued by Environment Canada which required taking measures to counteract, mitigate or remedy the adverse effects of such deposits.
