Following investigations by the Environment Agency, four Yorkshire companies will pay almost £470,000 after they breached environmental permits.
The Environment Agency has secured almost £470,000 for environmental improvements in Yorkshire.
The Agency has accepted four separate enforcement undertakings after businesses breached their environmental permits.
The legally-binding payments cover a range of environmental offences, from a fish kill caused by a mine brine discharge to unauthorised water discharges from a major road construction project.
The cash will go directly to local charities, delivering real benefits for wildlife and communities across the region.
The companies made the enforcement undertaking offers after Environment Agency investigations into the incidents.
