King America settles with county over fish kill
Placeholder Image
Effingham County now has in its hands a $30,000 check, the result of its settlement with King America Finishing. Oliver Maner, the Savannah law firm contracted to finalize the settlement with the Screven County textiles plant believed to be the cause of a May 2011 widespread fish kill on the Ogeechee River, disbursed the check Nov. 20. The county claimed it suffered damage from the plant’s regulated discharge and asserted several claims against the plant under the Georgia Water Quality Control Act.
