The U.S. Department of Justice said on Wednesday that Honeywell International will pay to clean up the former tar plant at the Allied Chemical and Ironton Coke Superfund Site in Ohio.
The agreement, worth more than $10 million, resolves federal liability claims against Honeywell and another potentially responsible party. As a result of this and previous settlements, the U.S. government will recover most of the $75 million in costs it incurred cleaning up the site, the DOJ said. The facility contaminated the soil in a nearby creek and groundwater.
