Effluent Leak,Kelowna,Ministry Of Environment

B.C.'s Environment Ministry has issued a $78,000 fine against Sandher Fruit Packers, in Kelowna, B.C. The fine stems from the discharge of effluent into a nearby ditch.

“Ministry compliance and enforcement staff continue to monitor Sandher closely,” the ministry said in an emailed statement to Global News.Neighbours near the fruit packing plant have complained about smells emanating from the plant at various times.

“They have been informed that failure to provide the required information may result in the application being rejected due to lack of information,” the ministry said. In 2019, Sandher Fruit Packers received stop-work orders and was fined for starting construction on a massive building without appropriate permits.

Sandher was also fined $575 by the Conservation Officer Service in 2018 for introducing waste from a prescribed industry, trade or business.Story continues below advertisement
