Magistrate Maintains Remediation Plan Does Not Make Injunctive Relief Futile

PITTSBURGH - A federal magistrate judge in Pennsylvania on Oct. 2 denied PPG Industries Inc.'s motion to reconsider a May 22 ruling that held that a claim for injunctive relief sought by two environmental groups under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is not futile, finding that the groups presented sufficient expert evidence to show that the plan will reduce the dangers posed by contamination at a site owned by the company (PennEnvironment, et al. v. PPG Industries Inc., et al., No. 12-342, W.D. Pa., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 183752).
