According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney is settling a 2009 lawsuit regarding water pollutant discharges as a result of irrigation runoff at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. As part of the settlement Disney has agreed to install drop-inlet filters in six to eight catch basins to capture the water runoff from parking lots and roads.
The settlement does not extend to environmental watch group Environmental World Watch
In a statement, The Walt Disney Company says, “The Company has authorized a settlement in this particular case solely to put an end to the costs of litigating whether a federal permit is needed for studio landscape irrigation runoff. No such permit is required as part of the settlement. The settlement does not involve Environmental World Watch, Inc., and the Company continues its forceful defense against the baseless claims by EWW and related plaintiffs still pending in state court.”
