A lawsuit filed on behalf of environmental groups and several residents seeks to block the burning of mustard gas at the Umatilla Chemical Depot near Hermiston.
The lawsuit was filed by the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower protection organization, on behalf of the Oregon Wildlife Federation, the Sierra Club and several residents of Umatilla and Morrow counties.
Stockpiles of Sarin and VX nerve agent have already been burned at the depot. The lawsuit tries to block the burning of mustard gas as well. The plaintiffs say burning the agent would release mercury and other toxins into the environment.
