Missouri Department of Natural Resources

Earlier this year, after being approached by the Great Rivers Environmental Law Center, Karisa Gilman-Hernandez and her colleagues at Dutchtown South Community Corporation added excessive air pollution to the list of things they're no longer willing to see the community they serve just put up with. She offered her perspective to "St. Louis on the Air," and host Sarah Fenske also talked with Great Rivers staff attorneys Bob Menees and Sarah Rubenstein about why the pollution burden in the Dutchtown area caught their eye — and how their legal efforts there fit in with other issues in their portfolio.

More than 100 residents have reported chemical, musty or mildew odors in the surrounding area.

The Great Rivers Environmental Law Center, on behalf of three Missouri organizations, has filed a complaint with the EPA over permits issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The complaint says the permits allow excessive pollution in predominantly Black and low-income neighborhoods.
