The rockash material that was illegally dumped in Arroyo Barril, Samana by a Puerto Rico AES power plant has begun to be removed, using legal suit settlement funds disbursed by the AES Corporation. Andres Marranzini, legal counsel at the Ministry of Environment says that US$1.3 million of the US$6 million settlement has been used to pay legal fees (US$300,000) and to contract the firm Sotramotier to transfer the material to a cement plant in San Pedro de Macoris.
