CommentsThe U.S. EPA reached two settlements to clean a superfund site in San Bernadino County, Calif. Worth more than $50 million, the settlements include a dozen settling parties, among them local governments and Emhart Industries, which acquired a company that occupied the site in the 1950s, according to a news release from the U.S. EPA.
Added to the U.S. EPA's National Priorities List in September 2009, the B.F. Goodrich Superfund Site has been used to store, test and manufacture fireworks and munitions, according to the release. The area's groundwater contains unsafe levels of perchlorate and trichloroethylene, an industrial solvent, affecting the nearby communities in Rialto and Colton.
The consent decree for the settlement will be filed with the federal district court, where it is subject to final court approval, the release indicates.
