(AP) -- KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- A Missouri company has agreed to settlement terms over cleaning up pollution at its former metal fabrication plant in eastern Missouri.

The regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency said in a release Tuesday that the settlement requires the Kellwood Co. to cleanup PCE contamination at the plant in New Haven.

PCE, also called tetrachlorethylene, is an industrial solvent that has contaminated groundwater and soil at the site.

The EPA says the company also has to pay past and future response costs that the state and the EPA incurred from the site.

The company owned and operated the site from about 1973 until 1985.
