The Maxine Mine was closed in the 1980s, but the initial lawsuit alleged that acidic mine waste has continued to enter the river and that the company improperly filled a Locust Fork tributary with mine waste.
The Drummond Company has agreed to clean up an abandoned mine site west of Birmingham that environmental groups allege has been discharging acidic mining waste into the river since the mine closed decades ago.
Black Warrior Riverkeeper was represented in the case by attorneys from the Southern Environmental Law Center and Public Justice. In May 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama ruled that surface water discharges of acidic water contaminated with metals and other pollutants violated the Clean Water Act.
