    The Sept. 22 cease-and-desist letter from the state Bureau of Water Pollution Control alleged repeated violations of a settlement agreement that the company had entered into after being fined five years ago for discharging groundwater into storm drains without a permit. That agreement, signed by a Boring executive in 2022, was intended to compel the company to comply with state water pollution laws. Instead, state inspectors documented nearly 100 alleged new violations of the agreement.

    Man when you have basically unlimited money at your disposal, fines really are just another cost of business like buying paper for your printers. I wonder what the cost to properly dispose of their waste or groundwater or whatever would have been, compared to these fines
