KNOXVILLE -- The city of Knoxville has been dismissed as a defendant in three lawsuits over dumping of contaminated dirt. It was requested by the attorney for homeowners suing over the polluted soil dumped on their property. The city remains a defendant in a $250 million class-action lawsuit filed by citizens who live near one of the sites. They claim pollutants contaminated their wells.
