State pursues enforcement action against recycling facility operator

South Carolina DHEC wants a judge to enforce a civil action against the operator of an Oconee County re-cycling facility. A DHEC lawyer filed a complaint in the Common Pleas Court last week alleging Jake Marcengill’s Spring Valley Recycling on the Carradine Road has failed to fully obey an order last year to “remove and dispose of all waste tires at the Site at a permitted solid waste management facility and provide the Department with disposal receipts.” The DHEC action also seeks payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $5,937.50.
