Bruce Goldfarb v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore

<> Bruce Goldfarb v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore - 7/1/15. In the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, Case No. 14-1825. Residents brought statutory claims under the RCRA against the current and former owners of an industrial property in Baltimore alleged to have been contaminated by hazardous waste. The district court granted the property owners' motions to dismiss the claims. 
     The Appeals Court vacated the district court's judgment and remand the case for further proceedings. The Panel said, in part, "the district court erred in dismissing the claim against Maryland Chemical for failure to allege 'contribution' under § 6972(a)(1)(B)."
