EPA finalized an administrative enforcement action against Morton Salt in which they agreed to pay a penalty of $34,100 to resolve violations which included failure to notify EPA of a loss of mechanical integrity in their injection well and continued operation of their injection well after the loss of mechanical integrity which resulted in a discharge of brine outside their salt mining cavern.
