Paragraph: The deal would resolve alleged violations of civil environmental statutes, including the Clean Water Act, related to the pollution from a company factory in Waynesboro. It would amount to the largest environmental damage settlement in Virginia history and the eighth largest in the nation, officials said. The money would go to projects including wildlife habitat restoration, water quality enhancement and improvements to recreational areas. "In bringing this settlement to a close, we are finally righting a wrong that has impacted the South River and the South Fork of the Shenandoah River for so many decades," Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe said at a news conference announcing the settlement. Wilmington, Delaware-based Dupont Co. used mercury in its process of making synthetic fiber at the plant between 1929 and 1950, according to the state Department of Environmental Quality. Strict storage and disposal regulations weren't in place at the time, and some of the mercury seeped into the South River and flowed downstream to the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. DuPont discovered the mercury which accumulates in fish and is especially dangerous to pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children in the facility's soil in 1976, officials say. The pollution impacted over 100 miles of river and thousands of acres of floodplain and riparian habitat, affecting fish, mussels, migratory birds and amphibians, the Department of Justice said in a statement. The pollution also has limited some recreational fishing in Waynesboro, a city of about 20,000 in the Shenandoah Valley. The terms of the settlement are outlined in a proposed consent decree that was filed in federal court in Harrisonburg on Thursday. It is subject to a 45-day public comment period and must be approved by the court. The amount of money proposed is "quite impressive," but mercury is very persistent in the environment and very difficult to remove, said Dr. Thomas Benzing, a professor of integrated science and technology at James Madison University who works with a team of researchers who have been monitoring the mercury levels since 2001. If the settlement goes forward, DuPont would pay slightly more than $42 million toward projects including streamside plantings and erosion control to improve water quality and fish habitat; mussel propagation and restoration; migratory songbird habitat restoration and protection; and recreational fishing access creation or improvement. The company also will pay for renovations at the Front Royal Fish Hatchery to improve production of warm-water fish such as smallmouth bass, at an estimated cost of up to $10 million. "Every dollar is going to be used to clean up the land, the source issues and the water, to where it would have been" if not for the pollution, said Assistant Attorney General John Cruden of the Justice Department's Environmental and Natural Resources Division. No one from DuPont which is awaiting final regulatory approval for its merger with Dow Chemical in a deal to create DowDuPont, a $130 billion conglomerate spoke at the announcement. But Mike Liberati, South River project director for the DuPont Corporate Remediation Group, said in a statement that DuPont "is committed to a long-term presence in the Waynesboro area and to maintaining transparency with its citizens." The first phase of remediation, involving part of the riverbank in Waynesboro's Constitution Park could be complete in February. Soil there containing the highest concentrations of mercury is being excavated and hauled away and replaced by clean topsoil, Liberati said. "It's going to be a long-term project. It's not something that's going to happen overnight," Benzing said. Claim: DuPont to pay $50M over mercury-contaminated Virginia rivers.

Ex Output:
Chemical giant DuPont will pay more than $50 million but admit no fault under a proposed environmental settlement after releasing toxic mercury for decades that made its way into Shenandoah Valley waterways, state and federal officials announced Thursday.

Paragraph: Boise television station KTVB reports that Idaho residents fighting serious diseases like lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukemia previously had to leave the state to get the potentially life-saving treatment, which involves transplanting stem cells or bone marrow from a donor into the patient's body. On Thursday doctors at St. Luke's Mountain States Tumor Institute in Boise performed the procedure on Patricia Edwards to treat her myeloid leukemia. Edwards was diagnosed in January and told that an allogeneic transplant was the best option. "I said, 'What are my chances without going this route?' And (my doctor) said four to six months," Edwards said. Edwards was happy she didn't need to travel out of state for the highly complicated procedure. "One of the things that bothered me the most was that I'd have to be there for three months. And I'm a homebody so I like to be home" she said. Edwards' sister was a perfect match and donated her stem cells. The treatment means staying in the hospital for a month, followed by months more of recovery and treatment. "If it saves my life, it's well worth it, isn't it?" Edwards said. Dr. Finn Petersen joined St. Luke's from Utah as the new MSTI Blood and Transplant Program director. "I think she's done really well," Petersen, said. He says the procedure is typically available only at university hospitals because it's so complicated; the patient is getting a whole new immune system. "Where the trick then is to get this new healthy donor immune system to fight the patient's cancer," he said. "We are more and more coming to the understanding that the key to curing the patient is to get the donor immune cells to do the job." ___ Information from: KTVB-TV, http://www.ktvb.com/ Claim: Boise woman receives first allogeneic transplant in Idaho.

Ex Output:
Doctors have performed Idaho's first allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Paragraph: Japanese cases topped 2,000, and public broadcaster NHK said 78 cases in Tokyo took its tally of infections past 500. Media reports said 7 people in the city had died, five at one hospital. "This is the greatest increase up to now and is certainly of high concern, and I'm worried about what tomorrow's figures might show," Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said. A government spokesman said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told cabinet members he and his second-in-command, Taro Aso, would no longer attend the same meetings to protect the leadership from infection. But the two were later shown at the same gathering - although wearing masks and sitting apart. Last week, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was obliged to switch to running the country from isolation after testing positive for the virus. Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said Japan was not yet in a situation that required a state of emergency, triggering a potential lockdown, although the situation was precarious. "We're just barely holding it together," Nishimura told reporters. "If we loosen our grip even a little, it wouldn't be surprising to see a sudden surge." Infections have now exceeded 770,000 worldwide, with more than 37,000 deaths, as confirmed cases in the United States, Italy and Spain overtake mainland China, where the virus originated late last year. In Tokyo, there has been intense speculation that a lockdown could come soon, fueled by the rising number of cases. The national total edged past 2,000 infections after a center for disabled people in Chiba prefecture, east of Tokyo, found seven more infections. There have been 66 deaths. With limited testing in Japan, there are questions about how widely the virus has spread. About 7.1% of nearly 64,000 respondents said they had at least one virus symptom, such as high fever or a bad cough, between Friday and Monday, according to a survey of users in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures run by the chat app Line (3938.T) and the health ministry. Such symptoms do not by themselves prove infection. But the 4,500 people who reported symptoms in the survey was markedly higher than Tokyo's official figure of 443 infections by Monday. Only last Tuesday, with a lockdown already in the offing, Japan and Olympic authorities gave in to pressure from athletes and sporting bodies worldwide to delay Tokyo's 2020 Summer Games for a year. Some businesses in the capital are moving to curtail operations even ahead of a lockdown. On Tuesday, department store operator Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd (3099.T) said it would close six stores in Tokyo on weekends through April 12. Koshidaka Holdings (2157.T), an operator of karaoke and hot spring outlets, said it would close 200 karaoke outlets until April 13. But any lockdown in Japan would look different from mandatory measures in some parts of Europe and the United States. Laws limit local authorities to requesting people to stay at home. Tokyo Governor Koike has asked residents to avoid unnecessary outings, while her counterpart in the second biggest city of Osaka felt the government should declare a state of emergency, media said. The government said it would seek data from wireless carriers, such as statistics on people's movements, to help gauge the effectiveness of a voluntary request. A director of Japan's top organization of doctors urged that an emergency be declared before it was too late. Development of medicines and vaccines would be crucial to contain the virus, Abe told Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, in a telephone call on Monday. Japan intends to promote clinical research on an anti-flu medicine called Favipiravir with other countries as a treatment, Abe said. The drug, also known as Avigan, was developed by Fujifilm Holdings Corp (4901.T), shares of which closed up 2.2%, after having risen as much as 6.6% in Tokyo. The company later said in a statement it was starting a Phase III clinical trial in Japan of the drug for the coronavirus.
