General Motors Agrees to Spend $28
Million to Restore, Protect Saginaw River and Bay
Settlement Agreement Calls for Cleanup of
PCB-Contaminated River

FORT SNELLING, Minn., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Department of Justice and the Interior
Department U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today that General Motors (NYSE: GM -
news) will spend over $28 million to restore and protect the Saginaw River and Bay area. The
Saginaw River and Bay are contaminated by PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and related
compounds that the federal government alleges have been released from General Motors facilities
since the early 1970's, as well as by contaminants released from wastewater treatment plants in Bay
City and Saginaw.

''Today's settlement is good news for the people of Michigan and for all Americans who care about
the quality of our environment,'' said Lois J. Schiffer, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice
Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division. ''Under the settlement, General Motors
is required to finance a major cleanup of PCBs from the Saginaw River and Bay. That means a
cleaner and healthier environment for people who live in and around the region.''
