A Co Derry man was today fined £3,000 (plus compensation costs of £4,368) at Derry Magistrates Court for breaches of waste management legislation.
William Brian O’Donnell (42) of Craigbrack Road, Eglinton, pleaded guilty and was £750 for each of four charges under the Waste Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order 1997.
The court heard officers from the Northern Ireland Environment Agency visited the site at Craigbrack Road, Eglinton on numerous occasions between September 2013 and March 2015, where they found quantities of construction and demolition waste deposited and stored on site.
The court was told O’Donnell did not hold the relevant waste management licence or an exemption to deposit or store waste at this location.
