Potential $45 Million Fly Ash Class Action Settlement Announced

A settlement agreement has been tentatively reached regarding a class action lawsuit filed by residents in Gambrills, Md. who alleged they were damaged by the use of coal ash to reclaim a sand and gravel quarry in Anne Arundel County. The settlement is subject to approval by the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.

The settlement provides for:

The connection of 84 households, previously supplied by private wells, to public water;

The establishment of two trust funds to compensate affected property owners and provide site enhancements in the neighborhood;

The remediation and restoration of the former quarry site; and

The commitment to cease future deliveries of new coal ash to the quarry.

The costs and benefits of these expenditures and improvements currently are estimated to be $45 million.

The tentative settlement is being cited as a milestone in Maryland environmental and legal history.
