EPA Files Suit Against Teledyne: The Environmental Protection Agency’s suit alleges that Teledyne discharged toxic waste water from its aeronautical facility in San Diego to the city’s Point Loma sewage treatment plant. Between July, 1988, and March, 1990, Teledyne flushed water from a metal coating and etching operation that contained chromium in levels above federal pretreatment standards, in violation of the Clean Water Act, the suit says. Teledyne, based in Century City, said it “believes the lawsuit is not well-founded. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves.” Teledyne is subject to civil penalties of up to $25,000 a day per violation.
