AG Nessel filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy against the president of Douglas Environmental, Brian Powell, for allegedly violating the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. The Attorney General contends that Powell submitted false reports that did not align with laboratory testing of private water systems serving mobile home communities across the state.

“When individuals cut corners and submit false reports, they are not just breaking the law but also actively putting our families at risk. Environmental protections help keep toxic contaminants out of our water, and bypassing these regulations carries severe consequences. My office remains committed to working with EGLE to pursue and hold accountable bad actors who jeopardize the well-being of Michigan residents.” –AG Nessel
