Exxon Mobil Corp. has agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle a dispute over polluted water on the Navajo Nation in southeastern Utah.
Mobil will pay a $515,000 penalty and spend $4.7 million to reduce incidents of oil spills. The settlement will pay for $327,000 for new sanitary facilities and drinking water lines for 17 Navajo families.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Justice Department sued Mobil in 1998 for violations of the Clean Water Act.
