A company that planned to install landfills at a former chemical plant site near the Duck River has been locked in a yearslong legal battle with the board that shut the project down.

All parties will have to wait a little while longer for a resolution.

Remedial Holdings, a subsidiary of Louisiana-based Trinity Business Group, sued the Marshall/Maury Municipal Solid Waste Planning Region Board in 2023, claiming the board rejected its landfill application without proper review and deliberation.

Both parties presented their final arguments Friday to Chancellor I’Ashea L. Myles in Nashville. The chancellor can uphold the board’s decision, reverse it or send the matter back to the board for another vote.

Myles said she will issue her decision in writing at a later date.
