Abstract:
A federal appeals court decision in a groundwater contamination lawsuit expected to have broad implications for toxic tort actions in North Carolina has turned out to be something of a legal curiosity, according to attorney Craig Bromby of Hunton & Williams. The case of Carroll versus Litton Systems, Inc. pertained to whether any amount of chemical contaminant moving from one person’s property into another person’s groundwater constitutes a legal trespass and whether a company is liable for increased risk of disease. However, the ruling’s opinion is unpublished and citation is limited.

Abstract:
One piece of environmental legislation that failed to win approval in the 1999 session of the General Assembly was a bill aimed at correcting problems with the law establishing North Carolina’s Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program. The major problem with the legislation is that it essentially sets up circumstances under which all dry-cleaning solvent cleanups would be funded by the State’s Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Fund but provides revenue for the fund that is far short of what will be needed. Legislative changes proposed repealing insurance requirements, but because this solution would divert money from the General Fund, the proposed legislation failed.
