MCM Construction Lawsuit

$6 million payout in banned, outdated vehicle use suit.

MCM Construction to pay $6 million settlement in banned, outdated vehicle use lawsuit.

Sacramento, CA: (May-23-08) California Attorney General Jerry Brown brought a lawsuit against MCM Construction, a bridge building firm, alleging that the company used banned portable diesel engines on state-funded projects. The suit claimed that the company failed to get the required permits for its operations and stated that some of the company's machines were so outdated, that they predated the current air pollution regulations. MCM Construction was also accused of damaging critical salmon spawning habitat while working at the Van Duzen River in Humboldt County. The suit, filed in Mendocino County, stated that local air quality agents found MCM operating diesel engines without the necessary permits.

As part of a settlement reached, the two sides resolved the dispute by entering into a settlement agreement, in which MCM Construction agreed to a $6 million payout with the California Attorney General. The deal stipulated that MCM pay $4 million in civil penalties, which will be split among state and local agencies. Another $2 million will be spent to upgrade its equipment and adopt an internal environmental auditing process.
