Cargill and one person have been charged for contravening Alberta’s environmental laws relating to waste water near High River, Alta.
The matter is scheduled for court May 27 in Okotoks, Alta., according to an Alberta government news release.
Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources Development spokesperson Sarah Jackson said she could not reveal whether the individual charged, Pushp Pal Singh of Calgary, was a Cargill employee.
Nor would Jackson provide additional details on the nature of the alleged offence because the matter is now before the courts.
According to the release, the charges arise from contravention of a requirement that the department be informed by telephone of any failure to meet terms and conditions surrounding its approvals.
Singh has been charged with three counts under environmental legislation for alleged contravention of approvals that appear to involve waste water control systems, industrial waste water and provision of accurate information to the department.
