A commercial landlord with a checkered environmental record has had to shell out more than $650,000 for clean water violations in the fragile Long Creek watershed on properties he owns near the Maine Mall in South Portland. On Monday, Attorney General Aaron Frey announced that Cornerbrook LLC and CPSP LLC, both owned by Portland real estate giant Joseph Soley, had paid $400,000 in overdue fees to the Long Creek Watershed Management District and $250,000 in civil penalties to the State of Maine.
