Sims就罗得岛州污染问题达成和解
和解
Sims Metal Management及其子公司SMM New England Corp.就罗得岛州设施的空气污染和许可违规问题达成法律协议。该协议于8月12日提交法院，要求支付共计87.5万美元，并规定安装污染控制设备及取得许可证等条件。罗得岛州官员称相关运营排放了与健康问题有关的污染物；Sims表示争议涉及所需许可证的类型。
品牌回应
澄清 — Sims Metal Management
The issue here was our desire to be responsible members of the community, even though we continue to believe that we did not require the type of permit alleged in the complaint, we wanted to put this issue past us and focus on how best to go forward in Rhode Island in a COVID and post-COVID world
