The article reports on the plan of the British Environment Agency to raise the issue of Brofiscin quarry in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (USBC), where Monsanto's environmental legacy liabilities are being determined. Report says that if intervention on the issue fails the cost of any remediation will fall on the government. The Agency said that it anticipates filing an objection to Solutia's disclosure statement and reorganization plan in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court by June 28, 2007.
