Board to consider fine against business owner for alleged contamination

Monday, Oct. 4, 1999 | 9:24 a.m.

The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board will consider a complaint against Edgar Stratton at its Oct. 13-14 meeting here.

The agency contends Stratton, owner of Dependable Tow, has ignored four cleanup and abatement orders since August 1997.

The complaint stems from contamination that came from a previous business on the property, board officials said.

The agency alleges that Stratton knew of the contamination before he bought the land in 1987 and is responsible for it.

Stratton contends an underground gas plume likely doesn't originate on his property and he's being harassed by the agency.
