Two real, published enforcement settlements, lined up. Every figure below is public record; the head-to-head is computed at build time over those real numbers. Penalty bars share one log scale, so they read across the gutter.
The largest civil administrative penalty EPA had ever obtained, at the time.
DuPont settled claims that it withheld health and environmental information about PFOA ("C8") used to make Teflon, paying a $10.25 million penalty plus $6.25 million in supplemental environmental projects.

The largest recovery for the cleanup of environmental contamination.
A fraudulent-transfer case over decades of Kerr-McGee wood-treatment, uranium, and chemical waste ended in a $5.15 billion settlement to fund cleanup and health claims across roughly 2,700 sites in dozens of states.

These are landmark settlements, not live ECHO facility records. Day-to-day
compliance metrics - quarters in noncompliance, formal-action counts, last inspection -
are not part of a settlement figure; they join per facility from the ECHO Exporter
(loadFacilities() in src/lib/source.ts). See the
Methodology for what is real versus illustrative on this site.
