Judge Denies Injunction Halt on Playas Smelter Emission Controls
U S District Judge Howard Bratton of Albuquerque refused a temporary injunction to halt emission control device construction at the Phelps Dodge Smelter in Playas New Mexico. The ruling allowed continued construction while suit argues the permit violated air standards and questions testing methods and future violations. The judge found no immediate irreparable harm and noted potential financial damage to Phelps Dodge if operations are interrupted. Proponents claim the suit targets future violations while the state agency used an accepted method and found no standard exceedances.
