The Teneria Bermudez tannery has corrected an item that appeared in the local press, explaining that it has spent RD$30 million on installing a new residual water treatment plant to prevent polluting the Yaque del Norte River. The company says that it has Ministry of Environment Permit No. 0613-07 to operate. The company was fined RD$300,000 for polluting the river and was closed down by the authorities, but subsequently took the necessary measures, making the story that appeared in last week’s media old news.
