Update 2, I nominate J B Van Hollen for Charlie Sykes crappy crap Friday award for JB finally winning a case for the State of Wisconsin. Let's give JB an "ata a boy"!
We move away from Gillett and holy crap. This smells to high heaven.
From the Shawano Leader
It's good here to see J.B. found a case he could win.
Gillet man sentenced in illegal dumping operation
By Leader Staff
A Gillett man was sentenced last week for illegal disposal of sanitary
waste.Randy M. Soper was sentenced Soper to serve 30 days in jail and
ordered to pay over $30,000 in fines and penalties
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced Friday his office had
successfully prosecuted Soper on charges of illegally disposing of sanitary
sludge from a treatment work without obtaining a permit and willfully
discharging a pollutant into a water of the state, the Oconto River.
Soper was sentenced before Shawano County Judge Thomas Grover, who also
ordered Soper to completely remediate the wooded site that he contaminated with
his illegal operation.
Specifically, for three years — 2006, 2007, and 2008 — Soper and his
company, R.T. Sanitation, LLC, created a homemade treatment work hidden in a
wooden area at which they dumped hundreds of truckloads of sanitary waste from
customers' septic systems.
Department of Natural Resources Warden Stephan Fabian, who investigated the
case, testified in court, describing the observations he made of the woods
covered with sanitation waste and discharges into an unnamed creek that
discharges into the Oconto River.
Soper at times dumped waste directly into the woods and at times dumped
waste into his homemade treatment plant which was unknown and unlicensed by the
Department of Natural
Resources prior to this investigation.
Assistant Attorney General
Cynthia R. Hirsch prosecuted the case.
Way to go J.B.! Put this one on his resume.
Just to clarify, I am not a fan of Mr. Van Hollen.
As Mark Belling would say "too much like an empty suit!"
