Punishment of the crime

The defendant is a person who is in charge of preventing waste water discharge such as facility management of waste water in corporation B, and the corporation B (representative C) is a corporation established for the purpose of wholesale and retail business of agricultural and fishery products in corporation D in the Ysan-si.

No business operator or any person who operates prevention facilities shall discharge water pollutants exceeding the permissible emission levels (no more than 80mg/L of biochemical oxygen demand and no more than 90mg/L of chemical oxygen demand) due to the failure to normally operate emission facilities and prevention facilities without justifiable grounds.

Nevertheless, on May 17, 2017, the Defendant discharged wastewater in excess of the permissible emission level since the Defendant failed to normally operate preventive facilities by setting the electric line of the wastewater treatment facilities at the above factory B around 13:00, on the ground that the wastewater discharge quantity is not much higher than that of the wastewater treatment facilities. Thus, the Defendant discharged wastewater in excess of the permissible emission level (biological oxygen demand 812mg/L, chemical oxygen demand 565.1mg/L) into neighboring agricultural waterways.
