Victory at the Supreme Courts

Victory over a coal strip mine on Hurricane Creek

It was announced yesterday that the Alabama Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Friends of Hurricane Creek and Alabama Rivers Alliance in the matter of Tuscaloosa Resources Inc. permitted discharge of a known pollutant into a waterway, Hurricane Creek, on the EPA 303(d) list of impaired streams.

Our victory this time is the last chance for either ADEM or TRI to appeal further. It is over we won. 


From our attorney, Edwin Lamberth…
Subject: FW: Alabama Rivers Alliance and Friends of Hurricane Creek v. ADEM, et al. - ANOTHER VICTORY

John and Cindy,

Today, the Alabama Supreme Court denied Tuscaloosa Resources's Petition for Writ of Certiorari. This means that our victory is complete and cannot be challenged any further.

Have a great weekend.

Best regards,

Edwin
