Curtiss sewage: Department of Justice files suit
Curtiss officials must reply soon to a Dept. of Justice lawsuit charging the village Abbyland Pork Pack Inc. with continued violations of the village’s wastewater discharge permit. Meanwhile, a DNR official who is handling the facilities for upgrading at the sewage treatment plant says he has been waiting over two months for information requested from the village engineer, and predicts the project will not be done until 1991. Robert Hunter of the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice acknowledged this week he had filed a complaint against the village and Abbyland in mid-June, and Village Atty. Frank Nikolay said the village was served with the document June 15. The Village Board will have to reply to the complaint by July 7, Nikolay stated, and he said as of Monday he had not conferred with the board on the issue.
Village president Les Bowen said the matter would be handled this week. Following a village reply, Hunter said, a hearing and trial would be held, with the possibility of negotiation also available.
Nikolay did not speculate on the outcome of the legal proceeding, but stated, “In every lawsuit there is always the possibility of a settlement before the trial.”
If the parties do not reach a settlement, Hunter said, state law allows a fine of between $10 and $10,000 for each day of violation. DNR engineer Mike Blodgett was the one who referred the case to the Dept. of Justice.
