Cuomo Announces Settlement with Company’s that Polluted
January 17, 2008
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says Bausch & Lomb, DuPont, Eastman Kodak and Xerox are among eight private and public entities that will reimburse New York state nearly $1.6 million for failing to clean up hazardous waste.
The state filed a lawsuit in 2005 after having to pay to clean up the Rochester Fire Academy, a hazardous waste site in Monroe County where six companies, along with the University of Rochester and Monroe County, disposed of hazardous waste between 1954 and 1980.
Money from the settlement will be used to clean up other contaminated sites.
