BATON ROUGE, LA WAFB – Louisiana officials said an additional $160,000 in fines have been issued to the company that owns the salt dome near the site of a giant sinkhole.
Louisiana Commissioner of Conservation James Welsh made the announcement of the added fines Monday evening.
Welsh said these fines follow $100,000 in penalties issued to Texas Brine earlier in the month.
He said the company continues to fail to comply with directives issued by his office on Nov. 12.
