Maine issues second violation to Mallinckrodt over failed cleanup at Orrington mercury site.
The Maine DEP has issued a second notice of violation to Mallinckrodt US LLC over insufficient progress in cleaning up mercury and hazardous chemical contamination at the former HoltraChem plant in Orrington.
Despite years of remediation efforts, regulators say the company failed to submit an adequate cleanup plan, delay removing contaminated soil, and did not establish a trust fund for long-term monitoring.
The state demands immediate action within 30 days or face further enforcement.
Mallinckrodt claims meeting mercury removal standards is impractical and unsafe, but the DEP maintains the site poses ongoing risks to public and environmental health.
