Worlds of Fun parent Cedar Fair is being sued by an environmental group alleging various violations in the treatment and discharge of waste water:

Charges are of "significant and persistent violations" encompassing 58 instances over

60 months.

 

No doubt the townships in Michigan will look at the activity in these allegations as they continue to pressure Michigan's Adventure to tap onto the public sewer.

 

 

 Sigh. Well, I hope it's handled fairly and equitably, and that it's examined with critical thinking upon a balanced presentation of the facts. I'd hate for this to be rooted in some surreptitious purpose beyond the protection of the environment. I really would.  I really, really would.

Cedair Fair should just move Shockwave to Worlds of Fun and call it a day.

My goodness, but we had the same thought. It seems the modern wave of thinking is "If someone smiles, quash it."

If these disposal actions are going on, and the water is being polluted, fine, it's fair.

But are other companies along that river also being included?

The Miami river, Great and Little, is recipient to a lot of goop from Dayton, but yet, it was only the DPL building that got targeted. 

It used coal.

I am very much for responsible waste management and recycling; I really am. I would just hope that the desired outcome of a civil suit against an organization would be for the implementation of solutions, rather than punitive fines that wind up filtering their way through the pocketscape that is bureaucracy.
