Legal documents recently obtained by Jefferson County Foundation as part of our lawsuit on Rockwool’s stormwater permits show that when the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) asked Rockwool to add a leak detection system to the pond liners, Rockwool refused. Rockwool stated, “The cost and operational implications of adding an interstitial monitoring layer and second geomembrane are considerable and ROCKWOOL does not believe they will add any appreciable value.”

Rockwool does not value the water; it only values its own convenience and bottom line! To support this work, please donate to the Foundation Legal Fund. And right now, all donations are being matched by a generous donor in honor of Earth Week, so your donation will go twice as far.
