Kadillak v. The Anaconda Company, Department of State Lands
Land Use + Environmental Law, Air, Soil and Groundwater Pollution
McGarvey Law represented 127 homeowners on the east edge of Butte whose homes and health were threatened when the Anaconda Company proposed a large toxic waste dump on neighboring land. After a complex three week trial involving multiple expert witnesses, the district judge ruled in Anaconda’s favor, a decision that was reversed by the Montana Supreme Court in a landmark case. The Supreme Court’s decision, and our advocacy, pushed Anaconda to create a new Environmental Impact Statement. Anaconda eventually committed to conveyor dumping, a safer alternative that cut air pollution by 75%.
