On January 25, 2016, Dalcon Enterprises Ltd., a general contractor, was convicted of two offences and fined $80,000 (plus the 25% victim fine surcharge). The fines were for the discharge of a contaminant that caused an adverse effect and for failing to report the discharge to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change ("MOECC"), contrary to the Environmental Protection Act (EPA).

Dalcon was contracted to carry out a water and sewer line replaced in the Town of Kemptville, Municipality of North Grenville. Dalcon provides civil and general contracting services. Another company had identified and marked the location of the utilities. The site of a two inch gas mainline was properly identified prior to Dalcon commencing its work.
