DALLESPORT — The state has fined the owners of a property near Dallesport more than $10,000 for burning tires and trash.
Dennis and Robert Eiesland of Circle T Ranch Inc. have 30 days to pay the penalty or appeal to the state’s Pollution Control Hearings Board.
The Department of Ecology says a big fire on the property last March burned tires, garbage, plastic, PVC pipe and demolition debris. Officials say that when air quality inspectors responded, Dennis Eiesland admitted setting the fire, acknowledged he didn’t have a permit and said he had no way to put it out.
The Eieslands did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment Monday. The total amount of the fine is $10,165.
