Company owners & employee arrested for dumping sewage on state land near Utah river
The Garfield County Sheriff's Office said it was notified on July 15 that a"sewer company" was possibly dumping human waste off a dirt road near Asay Creek just a few miles south of the town of Hatch. The tipster had trail cameras in the area and sent police photos from the cameras, showing the truck belonging to the company called A-Action. According to its website, the company provides septic tank services, portable outhouses, and other services.
The sheriff's office began investigating the case, then they received another call from the tipster on Sunday, saying he saw from his trail camera multiple vehicles and an excavator at one of the spots where sewage was dumped. Torgerson told deputies that he had dumped the sewage in the area. Sindi Vetere then told them that when she learned that Torgerson had done so, they agreed that all three of them would go and"clean up the mess."
