LODI, Calif. — The City of Lodi ended a 22-year battle over groundwater contamination last month. Seeking to recoup costs incurred in the cleanup of perchloroethylene contamination from more than 100 defendants, the lawsuit was a landmark in the industry.
California’s Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board unanimously approved a total of $6.3 million in settlements on Feb. 4, according to the Lodi News-Sentinel. The settlements will resolve all question of liability, city officials said.
