Environmental Action v. IR International, Inc.

Environmental Action v. IR International, Inc.

We filed the first environmental citizen suit in the southern U.S. under the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), against a Virginia manufacturer for failing to report toxic discharges.  The company agreed to comply with the law, reduce toxic chemical use by 90 percent, pay $115,000 for an environmental audit and pollution prevention, and contribute $25,000 to the Virginia Environmental Endowment.
