The Malvern based Arkansas Midland Railroad Company has agreed to pay a significant fine to settle with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over allegations that the company had illegally stored a dangerous chemical.
The Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports the EPA claimed the railroad had illegally stored more than 750,000 gallons of highly flammable hazardous waste material on a rail line in Hot Springs.
The agency fined the railroad $910,000 for the violation.
