Altuglas agreed to a $2.7 million Bristol water settlement to resolve claims that it contaminated Pennsylvania water sources through a 2023 chemical spill.
The settlement benefits residents and entities that lived or operated a physical business located in the area impacted by the Altuglas chemical spill between March 24 and March 30, 2023.
The impacted area includes the following zip codes: 19102, 19103, 19106, 19107, 19109, 19111, 19112, 19114, 19115, 19116, 19119, 19120, 19121, 19122, 19123, 19124, 19125, 19126, 19128, 19129, 19130, 19132, 19133, 19134, 19135, 19136, 19137, 19138, 19140, 19141, 19144, 19145, 19146, 19147, 19148, 19149, 19152 and 19154.
In March 2023, the Altuglas chemical plant in Bristol, Pennsylvania allegedly released thousands of gallons of latex emulsion solution into a Delaware River tributary. According to a class action lawsuit, this spill contaminated drinking water which caused financial damages for residents and business owners.
Altuglas products are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cast sheets and blocks sold by Trinseo.
Altugas hasnโt admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $2.7 million to resolve the water contamination class action lawsuit.
Under the settlement terms, class members can receive a base payment of $25 to $50 for economic losses due to the chemical spell. No documentation is required for base payments. Class members only need to file a claim attesting that they resided in the affected area and suffered a loss.
Class members with documented losses can receive additional payments. The settlement covers economic losses such as the purchase of bottled water, transportation costs, loss of business income and more. Claimants will receive proportional payments based on the amount they claim in documented losses.
The deadline for exclusion and objection was July 17, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Sept. 23, 2024.
Class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 16, 2024 to receive Bristol water settlement payments.
