A Hart County company was given probation and a fine for environmental violations.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky says Logsdon Valley Oil Inc., also known as Hart Petroleum, was sentenced to three years of probation and fined $100,000 for violating the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says court documents show that in 2019 Logsdon Valley Oil discharged brine water from oil and gas production into sinkholes without a permit, threatening the quality of groundwater in the area. It was noted that the company was previously convicted of violating the Safe Drinking Water Act in 2013.

A representative from the Environmental Protection Agency said sentencing companies like Logsdon Valley Oil is important in order to demonstrate to companies that the EPA and local law enforcement will take action to protect communities and local water supplies.

Information on the Safe Drinking Water Act can be found on the EPA’s website.
