The French-owned company Barker continues to struggle with wastewater management after its latest application was withdrawn. The firm had previously proposed using a pine forest to address the issue, but this plan was deemed insufficient. Local authorities cited the "messy" nature of the proposal, indicating it failed to meet environmental standards. The rejection leaves the company without a clear solution, raising concerns about its ability to comply with regulations. Officials have not yet announced an alternative plan, leaving the situation unresolved. The company must now submit a revised proposal, but uncertainty remains over its timeline and effectiveness. This latest setback adds to a growing list of challenges for the firm in managing its environmental responsibilities.
