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 Law Clinic, said Friday.
Waste
Management maintains that it may legally operate while the state
reviews an application for a revised permit, which has been submitted.
“We
believe it should close down,” said Marylee Orr of the Louisiana
Environmental Action Network. “We’re anxious to see what DEQ is going
to do.”
