The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection recently fined Garelick Farms of Franklin $15,000 for various state environmental violations.
The violations were discovered late last year and are related to state air pollution control, hazardous waste management and industrial wastewater regulations.
DEP reported that the dairy and beverage bottling company failed to operate its wastewater pretreatment system with the appropriate number of licensed staff. The company also stored waste oil longer than allowed and failed to adequately keep air quality reports.
Garelick Farms agreed to comply with all the regulations and pay the $15,000 fine.
