The court-authorized Limetree Bay settlement notice sets a strict November 3 deadline for people and businesses seeking payment for alleged harm tied to refinery releases on February 4, April 23, May 5 and May 12, 2021.
Potential claims include property damage, nuisance, economic losses, physical or emotional health effects and eligible unreimbursed expenses. Eligibility and payment are not automatic: claimants must submit the required form and documentation, and approved amounts will depend on the settlement terms and claim review.
The seven settlements received preliminary court approval August 27. The settling defendants deny wrongdoing and liability, claims against non-settling defendants continue, and a final approval hearing is scheduled for December 14.
The separate deadline to opt out or object is October 27. The administrator lists in-person claim assistance in Whim and at Five Corners, along with online filing, a toll-free number and paper-mail instructions on the official site.
The administrator should publish a one-page eligibility and documentation checklist, processing timeline and multilingual assistance details alongside the claim form.
