Mealey's ( September 23, 2019, 12:42 PM EDT) -- ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A federal judge in New York on Sept. 16 refused to abstain from presiding over a lawsuit brought by an environmental group and 220 residents accusing a nearby landfill operator of violating the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), finding that the present case is not “substantially the same as” a class action suit proceeding through the same court (Fresh Air for the Eastside Inc., et al. v. Waste Management of New York LLC, et al., No. 18-cv-06588-EAW, W.D. N.Y., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 159906)....
