Florida Contamination to Cost Lockheed $3M More

   (CN) - Lockheed Martin should pay $3 million for breaching an environmental agreement stemming from a spill at its beryllium plant in Florida, a jury found.

     After learning that its site in Tallevast, Fla., 38 miles south of Tampa, had been contaminated, Lockheed Martin told Manatee County and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in January 2000 that the spill had affected adjacent properties and communities.
