Wal-Mart settles environmental suit

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Wal-Mart will pay $27.6 million to settle charges that it violated California environmental laws, prosecutors announced today in San Diego.

The San Diego County district attorney's office and the state attorney general's office had filed a civil complaint last month alleging that the company had improperly transported, stored and dumped pesticides, chemicals, paint, acid, aerosols, fertilizer and motor oil.

The settlement includes $20 million to be split among prosecutors in 20 jurisdictions and 32 environmental health agencies throughout the state; $1.6 million in costs for the investigation; $3 million to a fund for other environmental investigations; and $3 million toward keeping stores in compliance.
