The article reports on the decision of the Supreme Court on the chemical contamination at a Superfund site in Arvin, California. The high court held that Shell Oil is not liable for any chemical contamination. The high court agreed with the lower courts that the railroads did have a small liability for the cleanup because they owned part of the contaminated land.
