Local firm found guilty in federal court
Grand Prairie based Site Concrete, Inc. pleaded guilty in United States District Court to making false statements to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and was sentenced to five years probation and fined $30,000.
Site Concrete operated a construction project that installed drinking water lines in the Collin County town of Fairview.
To prove the safety of the water lines the EPA required Site Concrete to provide water samples for microbiological analysis. Several samples submitted to the EPA lab prior to May 6, 2006 showed microbiological contamination.
Site Concrete admitted it later provided uncontaminated water samples to the EPA that was obtained from other water sources.
