Agriculture your username February 25, 2021 Five property owners have sued the City of West Bend, Wisconsin, for damages suffered as a result of the contamination of their properties by ongoing leaching from the city’s Schuster Drive Landfill. The plaintiffs claimed that the city mishandled toxic waste, clean-up efforts, and concealed that carcinogenic and other contaminants seeped under and onto the plaintiffs and putative class members’ properties. The Eastern District of Wisconsin civil complaint, filed on Tuesday, alleged that the city operated the unlined landfill from about 1964 through 1984. Wastes, including chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, dichloroethylene, dichloroethane, vinyl chloride, and 1,4 dioxane allegedly leaked from the landfill for decades, yet, the plaintiffs claimed, the city kept this information under wraps until the Fall of 2019.
