法官下令Chicago南区动物饲料厂暂时停工 市府与州检察长恶臭诉讼获临时禁制令 下次听证2027年1月14日

位于伊利诺伊州库克县的芝加哥市,据Chicago媒体10月14日报道,法官托马斯·唐纳利批准伊利诺伊州检察长办公室与Chicago市政府的申请,下令南区普尔曼创新公司动物饲料添加剂工厂暂时停工。该厂多年来源源不断收到周边居民关于恶臭的投诉,市、州两级今年8月提起诉讼,指其违反州与市的空气污染法规。
州检察长夸梅·拉乌尔10月14日在声明中表示,该厂在解决恶臭与空气污染、符合伊利诺伊州环境法之前不应复工。临时禁制令至少执行至2027年1月14日的初步禁令听证,最终命令下达前工厂不得运营。
据报道,该厂址的异味投诉可追溯数十年,前身企业也曾被州检察长起诉。Chicago公共卫生局此前曾多次对该厂开出违规罚单,州环保局调查人员亦曾确认厂内及周边社区存在异味。普尔曼创新母公司的律师尚未回应置评请求。

Judge Halts Chicago South Side Feed Plant Operations in City and State Odor Lawsuit; Next Hearing January 14
Chicago is a city in Cook County, Illinois. Chicago media reported on October 14 that Judge Thomas Donnelly granted a temporary restraining order sought by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and the City of Chicago, halting operations at the Pullman Innovations animal-feed additive plant on the South Side. The city and state sued in August, alleging violations of state and city air pollution laws after years of odor complaints from nearby residents.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul said in a statement on October 14 that the plant should not reopen until it addresses the odors and air pollution and complies with Illinois environmental laws. The order keeps the plant closed at least until a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for January 14, 2027.
Complaints about odors at the site stretch back decades, including under a predecessor company previously sued by the state. The Chicago Department of Public Health has ticketed the plant multiple times, and Illinois EPA investigators have confirmed odors inside the plant and in surrounding neighborhoods. A lawyer for the plant's parent company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
