A Co Tyrone Company has been fined £2,500
plus £25 court costs at Dungannon Magistrates’ Court.
Geotech Construction Ltd, of Shanmaghery Road, Galbally,
Dungannon, Co Tyrone was fined for making a polluting discharge
to a waterway.
On 4 February 2008, a Water Quality Inspector, acting on
behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA),
inspected a tributary of the Ballinderry River at Lurganeden
Road and observed that the waterway appeared to be badly discoloured.
The source of the polluting discharge was traced to the Geotech
Construction Ltd site at Shanmaghery Road, Co Tyrone.
A sample taken at the time of the incident confirmed that
the discharge contained poisonous, noxious and polluting matter
which was potentially harmful to fish life in the receiving
watercourse.
