The penalties against the warehouse owners and operators would be the largest issued by the State Water Resources Control Board.
The owners and operators of a Carson warehouse where chemicals ran off into the Dominguez Channel last year following a fire, causing a noxious odor to linger in the region for weeks, could face $17 million in state penalties, regulators said this week.
The companies’ alleged violations include the discharge of polluted water and hazardous substances, failure to comply with cleanup and abatement orders, and failure to obtain a discharge permit. The companies occupying the space had been previously cited for fire code and hazardous materials violations before the fire.
