The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to consider whether W.R. Grace & Co. must pay $54 million to clean up asbestos in a Montana mining town. The case pits Grace, which operated a vermiculite mine for 27 years, against the EPA, which oversees the federal Superfund program for the nation's worst hazardous waste sites. Grace said other appeals courts ruled that companies can't be forced to pay the cost of cleaning a polluted site without being allowed to challenge whether the cleanup was necessary.
