MADISON, Wis. (WKBT) — The state of Wisconsin has reached a settlement agreement with Wild Rose Dairy, K&D Manure Handling and Kevin Hintz that would require them to pay $242,000 in a case connected to pollution in Vernon and La Crosse counties.
Attorney General Josh Kaul announced the agreement Monday. It was approved in La Crosse County Circuit Court April 19 and Vernon County Circuit Court April 21.
“Spills like these harm Wisconsin’s waterways and fish that swim in them,” said Kaul. “Those who contaminate our clean water must be held accountable.”
