The Massachusetts Attorney General has entered into a consent decree with Holtec International.
In it the Holtec International and Holtec Decommissioning resolve allegations that they violated Clean Air Regulations by failing to identify and remediate asbestos found at the former Pilgrim Nuclear site.
Under the terms of the Consent Judgement, Holtec has agreed to pay up to $125,000 in penalties to the Commonwealth, $37,500 of which will be paid into the Environmental Justice Trust Fund to support projects addressing environmental harms in disadvantaged communities across Massachusetts.
Up to $50,000 of the penalty will be suspended contingent upon the company’s compliance with the Clean Air Act and asbestos regulations over the next two years.
