The lawsuit, filed in 2009 and representing nearly 130 families, claimed that pollution from a former Kraft factory contaminated the groundwater beneath their homes and spread cancer-causing vapors. A U.S. District Court judge in Indianapolis approved the settlement Friday.
In addition to the payment to the families, Kraft must clean up the plant site and groundwater and install mitigation systems in the affected homes. The cost of that effort was not disclosed.
