A major congratulations to Joseph Brown, Brandon Grysko, and the entire team at Fausone & Grysko on a hard‑fought and truly significant win for Wayne County and its communities. Taking on a well‑resourced, nationwide operation in a radioactive waste dispute and prevailing is no small feat — but this result speaks for itself.
With the Court granting a permanent injunction and finding that the factors “weigh in overwhelming favor of Wayne County and the Plaintiffs,” this case stands as a landmark in protecting local communities from radioactive contamination and long‑term environmental risk.
Brandon said it best, “A state license does not mean lawful when an activity unreasonably interferes with public health, safety, and welfare.” A permit alone isn’t enough — if a project creates an unreasonable risk, communities have the right to step in and stop it.
Thank you to our clients — Belleville, Canton, Van Buren, and Romulus — for their trust, persistence, and commitment throughout this case. Their willingness to stand firm in the face of significant opposition made this outcome possible.
An impressive result, a precedent‑setting outcome, and a big win for the people these communities represent.
