Federal indictments were handed down this week charging Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Co. and five managers with violating federal workplace safety laws and obstructing criminal and regulatory investigations by EPA and OSHA.
The criminal charges were announced by the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. The 35-count indictment was unsealed with the arrests of Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Co. plant manager John Prisque, maintenance supervisor Jeffrey Maury, engineering and environmental manager Daniel Yadzinski, and finishing superintendent Craig Davidson. The arrests took place at the plant. Former Atlantic States human resource manager Scott Faubert was to surrender later at the federal courthouse in Trenton.
