Dam Owner Guilty in Field Turf Pollution of Washington River 
US Source: Associated Press 2/27/2023

A company that operates a century-old hydroelectric dam near Mount Rainier National Park and its chief operating officer each pleaded guilty to a single criminal count Monday in connection with a spill of synthetic field turf and the tiny rubber particles used to make it into the Puyallup River in 2020.

The company, Electron Hydro LLC, also will pay $1 million that mostly will go to projects to restore salmon habitat.
 

The Puyallup Tribe of Indians, which has treaty rights to fish in the river, blasted the plea deal, saying it “doesn't come close to accountability” and noting that its biologists continue to find chunks of field turf and rubber beads in the river.
