A Kelowna fruit packinghouse continues to struggle in its efforts to pacify its neighbours about effluent discharge concerns while trying to meet Ministry of Environment permit standards.
In a statement released by Sandher Fruit Packers, company president Gurtaj Sandher confirmed the company has been accessed a further “administration penalty” from the ministry, reported to be $78,368.
The ministry has also extended a wastewater discharge application process for the effluent discharge until May 10, the third extension this year on the application.
