EPA Proposes Settlement with AVX Corporation for Aerovox Site Cleanup Costs

The U.S. Agency for Environmental Protection (EPA) has proposed a settlement agreement with AVX Corporation to recover costs related to the cleanup of the Aerovox Site in Massachusetts. The agreement, which must be approved by the EPA within 30 days, would allow AVX to avoid paying for future response oversight costs and implement deed restrictions to ensure long-term site care.
