ExxonMobil Corp.

Concord, NH: (May-01-07) Attorney General Kelly Ayotte's office filed charges against ExxonMobil Corp., accusing it of environmental damage resulting from oil spills at some of its stations. In a settlement reached, ExxonMobil agreed to repay more than $2 million it received from the state to clean up gasoline spills. The payments were made to ExxonMobil from a state fund dedicated to reimbursing the costs of certain environmental cleanup work when private insurance policies do not cover the work. When the state's Oil Fund Disbursement Board, which administers the fund, found out that ExxonMobil had received payments from private insurers, it demanded repayment. Though ExxonMobil disputed the claim, it signed a settlement document in which it agreed to repay $2,041,968 to the state. The money will be used to pay for the cleanups, in an effort to protect public health and the environment. [UNION LEADER: OIL SPILL PAYMENTS]
