(Eugene, OR) -- The owner of the J.H. Baxter wood treatment facility in Eugene has pleaded guilty to hazardous waste and Clean Air Act violations. Federal prosecutors say 61-year-old Georgia Baxter-Krause illegally boiled off wastewater from the wood treatment operation and then shipped the remaining waste off for disposal. The company didn't have a permit to release the waste into the air. Baxter Krause agreed to pay one-and-a-half million dollars in criminal fines and could face up to two years in federal prison.
