(AP) — State environmental regulators have put a Bogalusa paper plant on notice that it is liable for a massive fish kill in the Pearl River, setting in motion the legal process for potentially issuing penalties and fines.
The Department of Environmental Quality issued a compliance order Monday and a notice of potential penalty to Temple-Inland for its role in the incident that clogged the Pearl River with thousands of dead fish last week.
