Topeka-A spokeswoman for the judge in U.S. District Court here confirmed that MagnaGro owner Raymond Sawyer, whose problems with city and federal officials peaked last year when two workers died in an accident at the MagnaGro plant in Lawrence, Kan. (GM April 5, Aug. 9, 2010), will have a revocation hearing Feb. 11. U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson scheduled the hearing to determine whether Sawyer has violated terms of the probation he was granted in 2009 for illegally discharging wastes from fertilizer blending (GM March 2, 2009). Sawyer, who was arrested on a warrant on Jan. 14, is on probation for pleading guilty in 2009 to discharging waste from his fertilizer operation into the city’s sewer system. Sawyer was arrested for violating terms of the probation.
