New York Court Case Involving Geotextile Tubes
Plaintiffs allege that Defendant’s Community Health and Safety Plan (“CHASP”) “described the Remedy selection and design as reducing or eliminating health hazards, including, but not limited to, use of a closed system, double containment, and geotextile tubes.” However, according to Plaintiffs, Defendant “negligently and/or falsely represented in its CHASP” that Wastebed 13 was a “closed system.” Furthermore, Plaintiffs maintain that Defendant negligently and/or misleadingly reported that the method selected (pumping dredged sediments into geotextile tubes) would minimize the amounts of contaminants that are exposed to the atmosphere. Plaintiffs add that, “when the highly contaminated slurry reached Wastebed 13, it was pumped and dewatered into and through porous geotextile tubes (or ‘geotubes’). The removed water was treated, and the geotubes were placed in onsite impoundments while they `cured,’ sequestering the contaminants (in theory) until such time the geotubes were dry enough for the impoundment to be capped.”
