A Mason County judge sentenced a Tahuya man who diverted the Tahuya River to 30 days in jail on each count today.
William Cayo, Sr.’s jail sentences are to be served concurrently, and he also must pay $8,143, be on two years probation and follow civil and criminal environmental laws, according to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office.
The Attorney General’s Office charged Cayo in Mason County District Court with violating both the water pollution control act and shoreline management act, as well as conducting unpermitted hydraulic activities stemming from the alteration of the channel of the Tahuya River in early February 2013.
