The state alleges the MHC owners, in neglecting to repair the wastewater system, exposed residents of 123 manufactured homes “to raw and partially treated human sewage overflows, plus discharges to the ground and waterways,” as well as to the state waters.
The terms of the settlement require the owners to replace the wastewater treatment system, and certify the new one is compliant with the law by April 15, 2016.
In addition to being fined $300,000, they also paid $15,000 to Michigan’s General Fund for enforcement costs. The web lists Arbor Americana, LLC as the property owner but offers no contact information. ##
