Filing Date Type File Action Taken Summary 03/05/2010 Settlement Agreement Download Settlement reached and appeal voluntarily dismissed. Wal-Mart agreed to install rooftop solar systems and take other steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their stores in a settlement resolving two lawsuits filed by CBD. The retailer agreed to installing a rooftop solar system of at least 250 kW each at three proposed stores, to build stat-of-the-art energy efficiency measures into the design of each of the planned stores, to conduct an audit to measure the energy efficiency of refrigeration units in existing stores in California, and to contribute $120,000 to the Mojave Desert Land Trust for land conservation purposes. The lawsuits alleged that the cities which approved the stores violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by not taking into account the greenhouse gas impacts of planned stores. As part of the settlements, both cases were dismissed. -
