Wastewater Dumpers to be Sentenced

Two men from a Kansas-based oil company will be sentenced this morning for dumping briny wastewater in the Allegheny National Forest.

John Morgan and Michael Evans of Swamp Angel Energy pleaded guilty in February for ordering workers to secretly dump more than 200,000 gallons of briny wastewater into two oil wells in McKean County between April 2007 and January 2008.

The charge is a violation of the Safe Water Drinking Act and carries a maximum possible sentence of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
