A man who ran a fake hazardous waste-recycling facility in Yazoo City pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to all six counts he was charged with.
Dennie Eugene Pridemore pleaded guilty to improperly disposing of hazardous metals, then lying to state and federal investigators to cover up the sham.
Pridemore's Hydromex Inc. was supposed to recycle hazardous wastes into useful products. Instead, Pridemore buried waste contaminated with the heavy metals, which leached into soil and groundwater.
He faces up to 30 years in jail and a $1.5 million fine.
