BOSTON (Legal Newsline) – An Attleboro, Mass., metal-cladding company will pay a $50,000 civil penalty for the state to settle a lawsuit over allegations that its illegally stored industrial wastewater at its facility, said state Attorney General Maura Healey.

The lawsuit claimed that Engineered Materials Solutions stored its industrial wastewater between October 2010 and May 2014 in holding tanks prior to shipping the tanks offsite. The alleged practice violates the state’s Industrial Wastewater Holding Tank Regulations because the company has an existing connection to the Attleboro sewer system.
