In a case of first impression that may have an impact on what constitutes hazardous waste when a product is deposited on land as part of its normal use or intended purpose, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a decision of the Federal District Court for the District of Connecticut which had rejected claims of violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and the Clean Water Act ("CWA") brought by a neighborhood group against a gun club and its members for operating a shooting range where lead shot was left at the site. Cordiano v. Metacon Gun Club, Inc., No. 07-0795-cv, 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 16980 (2d Cir. 2009).
