RCRA Ruling for MD Clients
On May 11, 2012 Judge Polster of the Northern District of Ohio granted, in part, a Motion to Dismiss filed by Greg DeGulis of McMahon DeGulis LLP in a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) citizen suit case. 42 USC § 6901; Town & Country Co-op, Inc. v. Akron Products Company, Case No. 1:11 CV 2578. This case involves adjacent properties in Seville, Ohio with alleged contaminated groundwater migrating from the HAH Investments site to Town & Country Co-op. Judge Polster dismissed 3 of 4 RCRA counts because of the lack of "imminent and substantial"
endangerment which is a requirement of the statute.
