Governor sues to halt incineration, includes trial burns

BIRMINGHAM

Making good on ten months of threats and promises to delay the 
destruction of Anniston's chemical weapons stockpile, Gov. Don Siegelman 
Thursday filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the Army-built incinerator 
until the federal government provides a number of protective measures 
for the community.

In papers filed in federal court here, Siegelman attempted to stop all 
burning operations at the $1 billion facility, including the tests that 
were scheduled to begin this week but were delayed because of problems 
with fiberglass piping. The legal papers do not place a dollar figure on 
the demanded preparations and instead ask for a temporary restraining 
order and a preliminary injunction against the facility.
