“Federal judge grants residents ‘partial victory’ over Chiquita”

“Castaic and Val Verde residents have claimed at least a partial victory in what’s expected to be a yearslong legal fight against Chiquita Canyon Landfill. 

Residents near the landfill have been plagued for years by a “noxious reaction,” a public nuisance residents say is forcing them to move. Los Angeles County filed a lawsuit seeking a preliminary injunction on their behalf in December. The county’s complaint sought $4,000 a month for relocation funds for almost 950 households for about six months, which comes to a little over $22 million. ”
