EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A Snohomish County composting company has agreed to pay more than $785,000 to settle a class-action lawsuit over bad smells from its plant.
The Daily Herald reports Cedar Grove Composting agreed to the settlement with Marysville residents, saying it would also spend $1.45 million to reduce the potential for smelly emissions.
A company spokeswoman says Cedar Grove has denied the suit’s allegations and won a previous suit that went to trial, but it’s settling to reach a resolution and to be able to focus on its business.
