Occidental Chemical Corp.

In 1993 New York State filed a lawsuit alleging Occidental Chemical Corporation discharged chemicals from it Niagara Falls manufacturing plant, polluting Lake Ontario and its tributaries. The spill damaged important fisheries and waterways and impacted the area environmentally, recreationally and economically. The chemical company has agreed to pay $12 million to help reverse damage to Lake Ontario and repair environmental damage. The settlement amount is intended to compensate the state's residents for warnings against eating fish from the polluted lake. (Jun-22-06) [WNED NEWS]
