Cleanup of Hazardous Waste Site Sought

The Advocate reports that residents of Bayou Sorrel have filed suit seeking to have five buried pits of hazardous waste pits cleaned up. Steve Irving, the plaintiffs' attorney, said that the pits were discovered as part of another lawsuit and that this suit was filed when the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality didn't respond to a notification of the problem.
