"This settlement will help ensure that the people who live in and
around South Attleboro have cleaner, healthier air to breathe," said
Lois J. Schiffer, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Justice
Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division.
The lawsuit also alleged that AIW violated the nation's main
hazardous waste law, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. When
EPA inspected AIW's plant they found poor hazardous waste storage
practices. The complaint also alleged that AIW under-reported its
shipments of toxic substances, violating the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act.
Today's settlement ensures that AIW will comply with these laws.
