McWane, Employees, Indicted for Environmental Crimes Occupational Hazards
It sounds like a horror story – a modern-day horror story. In the dead of night, employees of McWane Cast Iron Pipe Co. in Birmingham, Ala. – allegedly acting under orders from their managers – secretly dumped millions of gallons of potentially harmful, contaminated water into Avondale Creek over a period of several years.
But their actions weren't so secret after all. The federal government has caught up with McWane Inc., and employees or former employees James Delk, Michael Devine, Charles "Barry" Robinson and Donald Bills. They were indicted May 25 by a federal grand jury for environmental crimes connected with the operation of the McWane Cast Iron Pipe Co. in Birmingham.
