A self-service used auto-parts company will pay more than $2.5 million as part of a settlement with 14 California district attorneys over the company’s illegal disposal of hazardous waste, authorities said Friday.
The settlement consists of $1.85 million in civil penalties, $350,000 in enforcement costs, and $350,000 to be given to environmental projects. In Contra Costa County, that includes the Contra Costa Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund.
