BACKSTORY December 2, 2020, while the vessel Sider London was offloading shredded plastic waste at Mack Point an unknown numbers of baled plastic waste spilled into Searsport Harbor. The bales broke up and washed ashore on Sears Island. It quickly got interwoven into the seaweed wrack along the island shore. Sprague failed to report the spill.
A week later reporter Ethan Andrews posted photos online of plastic washing ashore on the island. I and others contacted DEP, which visited the island, December 9th.
Cleanup by Sprague contractors and the public commenced and continued for a month. On Jan 15th MDEP sent Sprague the Notice of Violation linked above.
