2006: Covanta Repeatedly Fined for Dioxin Releases, Other Toxics
October 9, 2006

In New Jersey, the Covanta company has been REPEATEDLY fined for releasing excessive amounts of dioxin and other toxic emissions from its Essex County plant.
In the past year, New Jersey regulators have ordered Covanta to pay more than $112,000 in fines for violations at ALL three of its waste-to-energy plants in the state.
The Rutgers Environmental Law Center at Rutgers University in New Jersey has filed a notice of its intent to sue Covanta over repeated Clean Air Act violations at the Essex plant, the state's largest garbage incinerator.

Covanta owns Energy Answers, apparently.
But Energy Answers International is a seperate entity based in The Virgin Islands. Ask why! (Enron was another Energy company with hundreds of special purpose entities in the Caribbean).
The Covanta-Energy-Answers spokeswoman in Ireland is the former 10-Year Director of EPA-Ireland. It's doubtful such a scenario would be legal in Canada or the US or Britain. It is legal, apparently, in Ireland. Is it ethical, especially when not declared in press releases? Ask!
