It was a chemical spill that drove 500 Westmoreland residents out of their homes back in 2004. Now Techsol, the chemical company respinsible for the spill, has agreed to pay the state $3 million to settle a lawsuit. The company also agreed to never operate any environmentally sensitive business in West Virginia again. The spill happened back in October of 2004 when workers at Techsol tried fo transfer 22,000 gallons of coal tar light oil from a rail car to a tanker truck for Marathon Ashland. Schools and homes were evacuated, some for up to a week.
