Flyash case going to trial

[NewsWhore]

Lawyers for the Dominican government and the AES Corporation did not reach a last minute agreement yesterday, meaning that the case will go to trial on 5 March. The case will be heard in the state of Virginia by Judge Gerald Bruce Lee. According to a press release by the Ministry of Environment, the government tried its hardest to reach an agreement with AES whereby AES would accept responsibility, preventing a lengthy trial, but unfortunately, they explained that AES didn't make the same efforts. The Dominican government wants AES to remove the more than 80,000 tons of flyash (rockash) dumped in Samana and Montecristi provinces, and repair the damage caused to the environment. The Dominican government is suing AES and Robert Charles Fina for US$80 million.
