The Newark Watershed Conservation and Development Corp. has agreed to a $6 million settlement of its claims against law firm Trenk, DiPasquale, Della Fera & Sodono, which was its counsel during a period of widespread corruption and patronage in the agency.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Vincent Papalia, who is overseeing Chapter 11 proceedings for the now-defunct watershed agency, will consider approving the settlement in a Dec. 17 hearing, according to court documents.
