Photo credit: © AP Photo/Tyler Evert The Elk River region near Charleston, West Virginia, is nicknamed “Chemical Valley,” thanks to its long history of being a center for the chemical industry. Many of those companies have since closed or moved elsewhere, but for years, pro-industry regulations made it easy for chemical companies to operate in the area with little to no offi cial oversight. This led to an unusually high concentration of environmental accidents from these facilities over the last few decades, but one in particular from 2014 stands out—not just as an example of what can happen when industrial facilities are left insuffi ciently monitored, but how much environmental impairment liability they can generate with just a single event. This is the story of Freedom Industries and the now-infamous Elk River chemical spill. Just after sunrise on January 9, 2014, residents in and around Charleston, WV, began complaining of a The Elk River spill strange, licorice-like odor near the Elk River. By 11:15 a.m., state Department of Environmental Protection was a case of inspectors had traced the smell to a chemical storage facility on the Elk River just 1.5 miles away from extreme negligence downtown Charleston.
