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.
