It was announced Thursday that Honeywell International has agreed to pay the state of Arizona $5 million to settle an environmental lawsuit.
Attorney General Terry Goddard says the civil penalty is for hazardous waste and environmental cleanup violations at a Honeywell facility near Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
Goddard says Honeywell also will pay another $1 million for a supplemental environmental project.
The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by the state against Honeywell in July 2004 alleging a number of environmental violations spanning more than 30 years.
The lawsuit alleged that between 1974 and 2004 Honeywell violated numerous environmental laws, including the Arizona Water Quality Control Act, Arizona Hazardous Waste Disposal Act and Arizona Underground Storage Tank Act.
