CATAWBA, S.C. — A York County paper mill accused of releasing toxic emissions is trying to get a lawsuit dismissed that was filed against it.
The civil suit against New Indy Containerboard accuses the company of violating the Clean Air Act.

Neighbors began reaching out to Channel 9 about the problem back in 2021, complaining about a bad smell coming from the mill.
A hearing on Tuesday resulted in the dismissal request being taken under advisement, which means it will be ruled on at some point.
The same judge already denied a motion last year to dismiss a separate class action suit related to the emissions.
