Nashville metals recycler settles lawsuit
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A metals recycling facility near downtown Nashville has settled a lawsuit filed by two environmental groups who alleged polluted storm water drainage was draining into the Cumberland River.
The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/YvrjWM) reports PSC Metals has agreed to take steps that will limit its stormwater discharges of metals and other substances into the water.
PSC Metals said Tuesday that it had reached an “amicable” settlement on Tuesday with the Tennessee Environmental Council and ReDiscover East, who filed the lawsuit. The newspaper reports U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell signed a consent decree between the parties.
The recycling operation is on the east bank of the river, across from the city’s country music tourist district, and close to LP Field where the Tennessee Titans play NFL football.
