A $1 million judgment against a textiles company blamed for illegal dumping into the Ogeechee River is not enough, said Ogeechee Riverkeeper Dianna Wedincamp. She met with about 300 citizens Sunday at Dasher’s Landing in Blitchton, where many people spoke out in objection to the Environmental Protection Division’s consent order that demands King America Finishing spend $1 million in environmental improvements to the Ogeechee. The judgment came after the EPD found the plant in violation of permits.
