Michael R. Thorp of Summit Law Group Speaker 19: 7
(cont’d)
In re Acushnet River & New Bedford
Harbor proceedings, 712 F. Supp. 1019,
1030 (D. Mass. 1989):
[T]he responsibility for the condition of
New Bedford Harbor is diffuse in another
respect. The sovereigns here seek to
recover only for that injury to natural
resources caused by PCB contamination,
yet the Harbor appears rife with a variety
of contaminants. It may prove difficult to
distinguish whether some injury is caused
by PCBs or by other pollutants.
