(EnviroNews Utah) – Today, Cherise Udell, Founder and President of the Utah Mom’s For Clean Air, alongside of the Utah Physicians For a Healthy Environment and WildEarth Guardians announced the filing of a joint lawsuit against Kennecott Utah Copper.

The suit claims that Kennecott is responsible for a disproportionate amount of Utah’s dangerous air pollution and has consistently violated their pollution permits as well as EPA standards. Panelists at the event also cited numerous externalities such as massive air pollution related medical expenses as a byproduct of Kennecott Utah Coppers operations.

This segment was taped at the Rio Tinto/Kennecott Lawsuit Press Conference at the Salt Lake City Library, December 19, 2011.
