A group of Miami residents has filed suit against BFGoodrich Co. and Michelin North America Inc., alleging that BFG failed to warn state and local authorities about leaks of hazardous waste at a now-defunct tire plant in Miami.

The plaintiffs ask the Oklahoma district court to declare BFG and parent company, Michelin in violation of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), order the companies to operate the site in accordance with EPCRA and assess civil penalties of $25000 to $75000 each day that EPRCRA reporting violations are found. 

The investigation is still pending.
