Rancher in Washington state to pay EPA $50,000 for illegal dam
Rancher Brock Maslonka’s earthen dam, which has yet to be removed, was installed in September 2015, spanning 200 feet in length and 100 feet in width. The dam, on the Perkins Slough tributary of the Pend Oreille River, was constructed without a Clean Water Act permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, the EPA said.
Mr. Maslonka, of Spokane, contended in a responding court filing that the dam was for irrigation of his property and to prevent the Pend Oreille River from inundating it, according to the Spokesman-Review.
