New York, NY -- A highly respected U.S. environmental engineering firm recently found illegal and dangerous levels of contaminated soil and drinking water at well sites in the Ecuadorian rainforest, where only Texaco, now owned by Chevron, operated from 1964 to 1992.
The findings by the New Jersey-based Louis Berger Group (LBG) are similar to findings released in dozens of earlier expert reports during an eight-year Ecuador trial that documented massive contamination by Texaco.
The LBG report also offers additional evidence that Chevron intentionally misled the Ecuador court about the contamination, which continues over 20 years later to harm the residents and their environment.
