The owner of kotzebue's Red Dog Mine has been slapped with a 120,000 dollar fine.

Tech Alaska Inc. will have to pay the fine, stemming from illegal discharges from the site. The EPA says the company has agreed to pay up.

The violations included the failure to collect samples of the discharged waste, exceeding the permit's limits on waste, and dumping wastewater into the tundra.

The penalty is due to be paid by October 4th.
