Subjects

Abstract

The article reports that the U.S. District Court judge in Los Angeles, California has rejected the motion of the Kern County to dismiss the lawsuit that challenges the region's ban on land application of biosolids considering that it should not have been filed in Los Angeles. The court ruled that it was ok to file the case in the said state since the effect of the ban would handicap government agencies in the Los Angeles area. Furthermore, it has been noted that the lawsuit seeks to alter a ballot initiative passed by Kern County voters that limits the plaintiffs from recycling biosolids at two farm sites in the County including a 5,000 acre farm owned by Los Angeles.
