Antero to Pay $11M in Fines/Restoration for Clean Water Violations

February 12, 2019February 13, 2019

This has to be a record-high amount for a fine plus remediation work, at least in the Marcellus/Utica. Antero Resources has cut a deal with three government entities--the U.S. Dept. of Justice, federal Environmental Protection Agency, and West Virginia Dept. of Environmental Protection--to pay a $3.15 million fine and spend another $8 million to mitigate and restore 32 sites in West Virginia. NOTE: MDN posted an important followup to this story after speaking with Antero, providing more context and background, here: The Real Story of Antero’s $11M Clean Water Act Violations.
