Description

PitchWeekly tells the story of the BP Amoco oil-refinery in Sugar Creek, Missouri and its surrounding communities. The refinery has had problems with leakage and seepage into the surrounding neighborhoods since 1950. Two class-action lawsuits were filed against Amoco after it was found that the refinery had caused "substantial amounts of contamination in off-site ground water." The two suits were combined but the local residents believe their needs were neglected in the move.
