Water contamination suit settled in Odessa
An Odessa man, Charles Noll Jr., 75, said his 1983 civil action against Woolley Tool & Manufacturing, a division of Chromalloy American Corp., has been settled out of court with a cash payment. Noll claimed chrome plating discharge polluted his wells at 2010 W. 44th St. and that EPA funds may cover cleanup. He withdrew the suit after the tentative settlement, noting his rental properties still receive unusable water. The EPA and Texas Water Commission have identified the site near 44th Street and Brazos Avenue as eligible for cleanup funds, with Chromium 1 and Chromium 2 areas under review. EPA estimates cleanup may take up to five years.
