Lawsuit Filed in Louisiana to Halt Injection Well Permit
Environmental groups and a Belle River, La. community group have filed a lawsuit against the state Department of Natural Resources alleging that the departments should never have granted a permit for an injection well.
FAS Environmental Services has operated in lower St. Martin Parish for years, even grandfathered into its current location after the parish passed zoning regulations in the 1990s.
However, in February 2014, the company applied for the rezoning of property closer to the well it has been using for woodland/residential.
A Department of Natural Resources official told The Advocate the department hadn’t been served with the lawsuit and couldn’t comment.
