The New Indy Containerboard paper mill in Catawba, South Carolina.
Residents near a paper mill in York County, South Carolina, have filed a second class-action lawsuit claiming that noxious odors from the plant are surrounding their homes and making them sick.
Shirley Landsdown and Ethel Piercey of York County sued New-Indy Containerboard last week at federal court in Rock Hill. The suit seeks more than $5 million in damages. The women say the paper and cardboard maker failed to control emissions, including by halting or reducing the use of equipment to treat hydrogen sulfide and other byproducts that have a rotten-egg smell.
