East Chicago Residents Further Efforts to Intervene in Superfund Lawsuit

A brief filed Friday by Goldberg Kohn, on behalf of East Chicago residents further supports their November motion to intervene in a Superfund Lawsuit. The brief fired back at the U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency which opposed the residents' motion.

"EPA's view of the residents as an annoyance in this process or the motion to intervene as an interference with EPA's clean-up efforts does not comport with the text or purpose of the intervention provision, and the court should not condone it," the residents' motion read.

Goldberg Kohn represents the residents pro-bono.
