Vermont Business Magazine The Attorney General has received $200,000 from Harleysville Worcester Insurance Company to settle a lawsuit in which the State alleged that an insurance policy issued by Harleysville to RL Vallee, Inc, the owner of underground storage tanks at the site, provided insurance coverage for the cleanup of a contaminated gas station site known as Nan’s Mobil located in Fairfax. The funds will be used by the Vermont Petroleum Cleanup Fund to cover costs of the cleanup.
“It is important to ensure that the State’s limited cleanup funds are appropriately protected and reimbursed so that funds are available when needed,” stated Attorney General William H Sorrell.
In agreeing to settle and make the payment Harleysville did not admit liability.
The Attorney General worked with the Agency of Natural Resources in this litigation and in settling the matter.
