Two top Santa Clara Waste Water Co. officials were arrested Friday on
new criminal charges related to hazardous materials district attorney
investigators say were still being stored at the company's facility a
year after a toxic explosion and chemical spill.
Santa Clara Waste Water CEO William Mitzel and Marlene Faltemier,
assistant general manager, were arrested and booked at the county's main
jail on 11 criminal charges, including felony reckless disregard for
handling hazardous waste causing unreasonable risk, conspiracy to commit
a crime, unlawful disposal of hazardous waste and submitting false
statements.
Mitzel and Faltemier also face special allegations that the crimes
were committed while they were out on bail on a separate but related
case, Chief Assistant District Attorney Jan Maurizi said. The two were
arrested earlier this year on separate charges stemming from the
November 2014 explosion. MORE
