The Louisiana Supreme Court has ruled in favor of environmentalists
and against Waste Management Inc. in a case involving Woodside
Landfill’s air discharge permit, but the two sides differ on what the
court’s action means.
The company should not
continue accepting waste at the landfill, now that its air discharge
permit has been vacated, Jill Witkowski, acting director of the Tulane

Environmental Action Network. “We’re anxious to see what DEQ is going
