Town Wins Long Fight Over Dump
Residents of Wilsonville prevailed after a five year legal battle to evict a toxic chemical landfill. Earthline's owner SCA Services plans to dig up 100,000 buried drums and contaminated materials at the 130 acre site. The case, touted as a national first for ordered exhumation of chemicals, could cost 10 to 20 million and span years.
