I guess CSX came clean with the people of the District of Columbia. Will 8 Million be enough though. The environment is more important then money to some people. If the environment is not kept in balance, the world is out of balance.
The District announced today that it has entered a Consent Decree with CSX Transportation, Inc., (CSXT) for CSXT to contribute millions to the cleanup of lands in the District of Columbia, including the sites on the Anacostia River. CSXT will pay $7.5 million to a fund that the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) will use to finance cleanup efforts at other private sector and government sites on the Anacostia River, pay a civil penalty of $500,000, reimburse the (DDOE) future oversight costs, conduct a site-wide investigation and natural resource damage assessment, and clean up pollutants on or emanating from its Benning Road rail yard.
