Heading: Count TV of the Original Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint

Text: In their briefs before this court, the original plaintiffs state that count IV of their amended complaint alleges that SWANCC's damaging of the [balefill] site solely in order to pursue a legally prohibited purpose would constitute the creation of a nuisance. Here again, however, we note that the felling of trees and drilling of monitoring wells is not precluded by either the Agency permit or the denial of the section 404 permit request, or for that matter any other law cited to this court. Moreover, such activities are entirely consistent with SWANCC's statutory purpose, i.e., the establishment of a waste disposal site on the property in question. Thus, insofar as the original plaintiffs premise their nuisance claim on SWANCC's unlawful activity, count IV cannot sustain the imposed injunction because the very activity complained of is in no way unlawful.
