Man Says He Was Fired For Turning In Local Company On Pollution Violations Tuesday, March 2, 2021
A Walker County, Ga., man said he was fired by Chattanooga Tank Wash for reporting pollution violations.
James Hays is suing the company in Federal Court.
He said he worked from the company on Pineville Road from July 2008 until his termination last Dec. 17.
The firm cleans commercial pollutants from tanker trucks, it was stated.
The complaint says, During the summer and fall of 2020, Plaintiff noticed several pretreatment standards violations at the facility. These violations included a leak in the containment wall surrounding the wastewater holding tank and multiple overflows of pollutants – some of which were intentionally caused rather than by accident.
