It appears the Petaluma Creamery will resume operations in the near future.
The Press Democrat reports that after two weeks of negotiations, the Creamery is nearing a deal in which it would pay off more than $500,000 in outstanding fines in order to avoid or remove a lien from the city. The fines are connected to the creamery’s disregard for the city’s wastewater pollution limits over the past decade. The agreement also calls for the Petaluma Creamery to adhere to the city’s wastewater discharge and building safety rules.
