The city of Denver, Waste Management of Colorado Inc., and Chemical Waste Management Inc. have agreed pay a $265,000 fine for failing to clean up a Superfund site at the Lowry Landfill. The fine resolves a lawsuit brought by the Justice Department charging that the entities failed on several occasions to follow EPA orders to clean the site. Lowry is in unincorporated Arapahoe County near Denver, which owns the site. Waste Management operates the site, and Chemical Waste transported wastes to the site.
