CASE
SUMMARY
OVERVIEW:
The
property owner was a chemical processing corporation located near a
hazardous waste landfill. It alleged that it was forced to cease its
operations at that site because chrome particles from the landfill
blew onto its property. The concentration of chrome in the air at the
chemical processing plant did not exceed permissible amounts under
applicable regulations.
OUTCOME:
The court reversed the inverse
condemnation
judgment, holding that the property owner had not suffered a
significant degree of interference with the business. The court held
that where there was no physical invasion of the property, no taking
was effected by consequential damages; rather, the impact on the
owner's property had to be special to it and of a high degree.
