Cheese Plant Pays Heavy Price for Pollution | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin Cheese Group just got a year of probation and a $237,500 fine for dumping untreated wastewater into the local sewer system—19 times between last June and November. They admitted guilt, and the judge called them a “neighborhood polluter” for overwhelming the treatment plant during production ramp-up. Their staff lacked proper training, and pollution levels spiked over 1500% above legal limits. EPA officials labeled it criminally negligent. Now they must upgrade facilities and work closely with state regulators—sending a clear message: environmental rules aren’t optional.
