Water violations lawsuit continues in West Virginia county

A graphite manufacturer in Harrison County, West Virginia, is asking a federal court to toss out a lawsuit filed by local environmental groups. The case involves the company’s facility near Ann Moore Run, a stream within the broader watershed of the upper Monongahela River. Olivia Miller, executive director of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy, one of the groups involved in the case, said the lawsuit is asking the court to require Amsted Graphite Materials to comply with its permit, stop Clean Water Act violations and pay penalties.

In a motion to dismiss filed earlier this month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, the company
