The fine really should be the cost of rehabilitating the land back to its original state. If the company can’t afford the cost of rehabilitation it should be wound up and all assets sold to cover as much of the cost as possible. Company owners / directors should also be held liable. Maybe that would be a deterrent.

Is a fine of $141k really a deterrent though?
