It's taken three years - and the company is now out of business - but the courts have levied a fine against a Mitchell plant for discharging wastewater into the Thames River.
The company involved is Great Lakes Speciality Meats, which went out of business last year.
Ministry of Environment investigators say the discharge happened in February of 2012.
Pumps that were supposed to transfer wastewater from the plant to the municipal wastewater plant failed.
The plant's facilities then overflowed, with the resulting wastewater making it's way into the river.
Great Lakes Speciality Meats has been fined 150 thousand dollars for the spill.
The company was charged another 37 thousand 5 hundred in victim surcharges.
However, it's unclear how that fine will be collected now that the company is out of business.
