Abstract

On April 24, 1972, after oral argument, we granted Vermont's motion to file a complaint against New York and the International Paper Company which alleged that as a result of discharge of wastes, largely from International's mills, that company and New York are responsible for a sludge bed in Lake Champlain and Ticonderoga Creek that has polluted the water, impeded navigation, and constituted a public nuisance.
