University of Maryland School of Law plans lawsuit against

Daily Record, The (Baltimore), Mar 12, 2008

According to an advisory from the University of Maryland School of Law, the school's Environmental Law Clinic plans to file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Wednesday against the Velsicol Chemical Corp. for violations of the federal Clean Water Act at the company's Chestertown manufacturing facility.

The suit will assert that the plant released pollutants into local waterways without the necessary permit. The Environmental Law Clinic previously sought to intervene in a separate state court action by the Maryland Department of the Environment for groundwater contamination at Velsicol's Chestertown facility, but, according to the advisory, its request to join the lawsuit was denied.
