Alabama's first alternative fuel plant has agreed to settle a lawsuit claiming it polluted a stream in west Alabama.
A federal court in Birmingham approved the agreement Monday between Alabama Biodiesel and an environmental organization, Black Warrior Riverkeeper.
The group sued the Moundville-based company last year claiming it illegally released vegetable-based oil and grease into an unnamed tributary of the Black Warrior River.
Documents show the company agreed to pay $45,000 in attorneys fees and damages, with more than half the money going to the Freshwater Land Trust, a conservation group. It also agreed to end all illegal released and obtain proper discharge permits.
Is it time to replace that drafty, leaky roof? Ask The Experts!

Shame on them for dumping soybean oil in the river! Ever wonder what happens to the used batteries from light towers along the rivers?
