A Union Township man has been charged with six felony counts related to wetlands violations after, according to court documents, he was told multiple times by county and state departments not to fill in the wetlands but did so anyway.
Matthew Hub, 41, was charged with six counts of violation of a state regulated wetland, a Level 6 felony, as well as one count of criminal mischief, a Class A misdemeanor, according to court documents filed in late April.The criminal charges are a rarity, according to officials who assisted with the investigation.
On Dec. 9 of that year, staff from the Porter County Department of Development and Storm Water Management inspected the property. Hub “was on site and admitted to clearing the land. He was served a stop order which he ignored,” according to court records. On July 19 of last year, an IDEM inspector again visited the property, documents state, and “it was determined that additional recontouring and asphalt had been added to the property … continued to ignore the stop order and continued to destroy the Wetland.”
