​AG Brown announced a $2.2 million settlement and consent decree against the owner of a Baltimore broadcast tower and its contractor after lead paint chips and debris spread across surrounding neighborhoods – reaching parks, playground, and daycares. The settlement resolves a civil lawsuit filed by the Office of the Attorney General on behalf of Maryland Department of Environment (MDE), and follows separate guilty pleas by the contractor and its principal on criminal environmental charges filed by Attorney General Brown’s Environmental and Natural Resources Crimes Unit.
