(Cambria) A Columbia County grain company, already facing charges connected with a deadly explosion, will pay a hefty fine for pollution violations. Attorney General Josh Kaul says Didion Milling has agreed to a $940-thousand-dollar settlement in the incident.
The Department of Justice says the grain operation failed to use proper emission controls, failed to report leaks, and failed to maintain control devices.
Several high ranking managers at Didion are currently facing federal fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with a 2017 explosion that killed five people and injured 12 others.
