Criminal Investigation Sought Following Whistleblower Claims of Pollution Violations Occupational Hazards
Bill Wilson was fired in May 2004, allegedly for calling attention to the problems, and nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project is calling for a criminal investigation of the company. Testimony and supporting documents outlined by Wilson document what the Environmental Integrity Project is calling "massive violations" of the Clean Air Act at three large AEP power plants in Texas – Welsh, Pirkey and Knox-Lee – all of which are in east Texas. The charges included allegedly repeatedly and illegally burning chemical waste in utility boilers, violating emission limits for smog forming chemicals, particulate matter and carbon monoxide, and failing to satisfy the New Source Review rules adopted by the Bush Administration.
"I was told that under the recently passed Sarbanes-Oxley law I had to report any evidence of misconduct at the company that could be of material importance to shareholders," said Wilson. "Obviously, the prospect of civil, regulatory or even criminal action arising from Clean Air Act violations fell under that heading."------------------------------------------- posted 6:33 AM :: reference link ::
