A prominent Salem development company is being fined by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for polluting a marsh in Monmouth, killing nearby plant life.
Regulators found that Mountain West Investment Corp. last January discharged turbid, discolored water from an apartment construction site.
The DEQ said in an Oct. 8 notice that it was levying fines totaling $33,012. The action was first reported by the Statesman-Journal.
