BURLINGTON, Wash. –  A Skagit County business has settled a claim of environmental violations.

The Washington State Department of Ecology says Burlington aircraft interior manufacturer VT Volant Aerospace paid nearly $38,000 to settle violations that they mishandled dangerous waste.

A 2015 spill at the plant resulted in the release of methyl ethyl ketone.

Ecology says the company has been in compliance with regulations since their 2017 inspection.
