12h agoExxonMobil will pay New Jersey $9.5 million to
settle a lawsuit over a toxic chemical dump.
It’s to resolve a Natural Resource Damages lawsuit
brought against the company on behalf of the Department of Environmental
Protection. Acting
Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and Commissioner of Environmental
Protection Shawn M. LaTourette made the announcement.
The company used to have a
refinery in Paulsboro. The state sued after ExxonMobil dumped PCB’s and other
hazardous substances in wetlands in nearby East Greenwich.
That contamination can cause
cancer and despite attempts to get rid of the chemical, inspections and testing
shows it's still there.
