LWD PRP wants to force 334 others to kick in money to cover the costs of removing a variety of oils, liquid wastes and other hazardous and non-hazardous pollutants from the site of the LWD Incinerator in Calvert City.
The incinerator operated from the 1950s until October 2005. The 32-acre plant was one of the largest hazardous waste facilities in the United States.
LWD PRP has paid $9.5 million toward cleaning up the site through September 1. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Paducah, seeks to a judge's order to force the defendants to contribute to the cleanup.
