Permission was granted to a company for construction of a hazardous waste treatment facility in Providence, Rhode Island. Several landowners brought suit, claiming that their land was within the 500 ft (150 m) perimeter of the proposed facility and that they should have received notice of the application under state law. Trial and appellate courts concluded that none of the challengers owned property within 500 ft (150 m) of the perimeter of the site and, therefore, not entitled to notice.
