In those cases, settlements required #Graniterock to pay a total of $138K in penalties for water quality violations at the quarry.

    "For each of the 46 incidents involved, the board imposed the minimum penalty of $3K, the lawsuit noted, calling it 'tantamount to a #PayToPollute system' for a company with millions of $ in annual revenue.

The proposal includes 34 lease sales across 21 areas, with six off #California coast. Two of these are for #CentralCoast, and could begin as early as 2027.

    Over 70 countries banned paraquat; it remains legal in US. #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency banned use on #golf courses but allows on crops.
