St. Lawrence River pollution claims settled for nearly $20 million.

The AP (3/28, Virtanen) reports, “Claims over industrial chemicals that leached in the groundwater and soil along the St. Lawrence River since the 1950s, polluting tribal land downstream and harming wildlife, were settled Wednesday under a nearly $20 million agreement that includes money for environmental restoration and health and cultural programs” for the St. Regis Mohawk tribe. The settlement between the tribe, Alcoa, and the Federal government “includes $7.3 million for restoring grasslands, wetlands and fisheries; $1 million for buying hundreds of acres for state protection and $8.4 million for tribal outdoor education, horticulture, medicine, healing, nutrition and language programs.”
