Honeywell International Inc. will pay the federal government $550,000 to settle civil claims of Clean Air Act violations at its Baton Rouge plant in 2003.

The agreement ended claims against the firm by the Environmental Protection Agency. Honeywell must pay the $550,000 by Oct. 29, according to the terms of the settlement agreement.

Three accidents at the plant in 2003 resulted in the death of an employee and injuries to other people.
