South Carolina Plastic Pellet Spill Lawsuit Settled for $1M

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Frontier Logistics on Tuesday reached a $1 million settlement with the Charleston Waterkeeper and the Coastal Conservation League over the pollution of South Carolina waterways.

The settlement comes after a federal lawsuit was brought against Frontier Logistics, accusing the company’s Union Pier location of spilling millions of plastic pellets — also known as nurdles — into the Charleston Harbor. Pending court approval, the settlement will end the federal lawsuit.

As part of the settlement, Frontier has also “agreed to allow an independent auditor, accompanied by a nurdle-pollution expert, to visit its new [North Charleston] facility to make recommendations on preventing the plastic pellets from getting into the environment.”
