EPA sued bankruptcy Oahu Sugar Co. over pesticide dumping By Rick Daysog | April 26, 2021 at 5:42 PM HST - Updated April 26 at 5:42 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Environmental Protection Agency has sued the bankrupt Oahu Sugar Co. and it’s mainland owners over pesticide dumping.
In a federal court lawsuit filed last week, the EPA alleged that Oahu Sugar ― which shut down in 1995 and filed for bankruptcy in 2005 ― operated a pesticide mixing plant on the Waipio penninsula for decades that spilled toxic chemicals into the land.
“I see an ecological nightmare going unchecked,” said environmental activist Carroll Cox, who has documented the contamination since 2005.
