EPA To Spend $50M Capping DDT Contamination off CA Coast

http://www.sustainablebusiness.com/i...splay/id/19004

In 1989, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act natural resource trustees determined that DDT and PCB contamination of the marine environment off the southern California coast, including the Palos Verdes Shelf, could result in significant damage to natural resources. In June 1990, the United States and the state of California filed suit on behalf of federal and state natural resource trustees as well as EPA and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. Litigation concluded in 2000, with $136,000,000 from the settlements being set aside to pay for restoration and remediation.
