Madison-Kipp and two groups of neighbors who sued the East Side  
vehicle parts manufacturer have agreed to the settlement of the class  
action lawsuits in state and federal courts for cash payments  
totaling $7.2 million.

The company also agreed to replace contaminated soil on some

homes. The agreements were filed Monday in Dane County Circuit Court

Richard Niess in the case involving 52 neighboring homes on South  
Marquette, Waubesa, Dixon and Fairview streets.
