About this ebook
A federal jury in Shreveport, La., has convicted John Tuma, 54, of Centerville, Texas, of discharging untreated wastewater directly into the Red River without a permit, discharging untreated wastewater into the city of Shreveport sewer system in violation of its permit and obstructing an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspection. Father and son, John Tuma and Cody Tuma, 28, of Shreveport, were both charged in a five-count indictment with violations of the Clean Water Act, conspiracy and obstruction of justice related to illegal discharges coming from the Arkla Disposal Services Inc., a facility in Shreveport. The Arkla facility received off-site wastewater from industrial processes and from oilfield exploration and production facilities for treatment at the Arkla facility.
“It was irresponsible, illegal and potentially harmful to the health of city residents and their environment for Mr. Tuma to conspire to dump untreated industrial wastewater into Shreveport’s sewer system,” said Assistant Attorney General Ignacia S. Moreno of the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice. “This case is an example of how the Clean Water Act protects the health and safety of the American people.”
