ALBANY (AP) -- A federal bankruptcy judge has approved a settlement agreement with $154 million dedicated to cleaning up two former General Motors factory sites in upstate New York.

The multi-state agreement with Motors Liquidation Company, formerly General Motors Corp., includes the Massena factory site near the Canadian border and the Inland Fisher Guide site outside Syracuse.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says the funds are meant to restore both hazardous waste sites for future economic development.

The 270-acre Massena site will get $121 million and has poly-chlorinated biphenyls, metals and other contamination from aluminum die-casting and manufacturing from 1959 to 2009.

The 65-acre Inland Fisher Guide site also has PCBs and will receive $33 million.

Parties in the case reached the settlement agreement in October.
