Willamette Industries to pay record pollution settlement
Willamette Industries of Portland will pay 11.2 million dollars and install about 74 million dollars worth of pollution control equipment at 13 factories in four states under a Clean Air Act settlement announced by EPA Administrator Carol Browner and Attorney General Janet Reno. The agreement aims to cut almost 27 000 tons of air pollution over 244 years, roughly the impact of removing 287 000 cars from the road, and marks the largest fine for factory emissions to date. Environmentalists welcomed the move as a strong enforcement signal urging compliance with the act.
