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.

HUNTINGTON â A new elementary school will be built on a property that has been without a tenant for decades.
During their regular meeting Tuesday, Cabell County Board of Education members voted to give authorization to Superintendent Ryan Saxe to move forward with the necessary actions to acquire the former Barboursville Brick Co. property near Riverview Drive, where they plan to build the new Davis Creek Elementary School.
The current Davis Creek Elementary is located just outside of Barboursville on Alternate W.Va. Route 10.
The decision was met with applause by school staff in attendance and some even got a little emotional after the vote, visibly expressing their thanks to board members for the decision.
