The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) has assessed a penalty of $2,000 to North Woods Contracting Inc. of South Portland, Maine for violating state regulations following a spill of hydraulic fluid at the Verizon facility located at 1899 East St., in Pittsfield.

DEP also assessed Cahill’s Tire Center in Oxford a $10,222 penalty after an inspection last March determined that the company had discharged industrial wastewater to a floor drain leading to the ground, failed to have a leak detection system and cathodic protection for its underground storage tank and failed to comply with several hazardous waste management requirements.
