Judge Thaddeus L. Wilson found that a cooling water intake system at a Chicago tower has illegally killed thousands of fish, violating Illinois law.
The lawsuit, initially filed by former Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, argues the cooling system of a 92-story tower creates a public nuisance.
Attorney General Kwame Raoul stated that the tower's cooling system violates regulations intended to protect aquatic life, agreeing with the lawsuit's claims.
Environmental organizations celebrate the ruling as a victory for wildlife protection in Illinois against practices that endanger aquatic ecosystems.
