SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) A federal judge has denied a West Virginia landholding firm’s request for a restraining order that would require chemical giant Union Carbide to stop all discharges from a landfill in South Charleston.
The Courtland Company found elevated levels of toxic chemicals on land it owns near Union Carbide’s Filmont landfill in South Charleston and alleges it is a toxic dumping site leaking hazardous substances into nearby Davis Creek and its tributaries.
The company filed in February for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction directing Union Carbide to stop all discharges from the site into nearby waters within 14 days.
