The company group was required to notify the state if it planned to do any construction on the site that could cause a release of contamination to the environment, said Joyce Mercuri of ecology's Toxics Cleanup Program.
"The GEO Group did not inform us about the expansion," Mercuri said.
Pablo Paez, a company spokesman who's been awfully busy the past few weeks, denies that the expansion violated state regulations -- a claim that's undermined by the state's statement that the GEO Group has agreed to work with it to resolve the environmental concerns.
