FLINT, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Lockhart Chemical, the company responsible for the Flint River spill in June, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The discharge of the petroleum-based substance led to a no-contact order for the river stretching from Stepping Stone Falls to Leith Street. That order remains in place.

Lockhart is under a state order from using its sewage pipes to discharge wastewater from its facility. Instead, it has to pump it into above-ground storage tanks to be trucked out.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is for individuals or businesses that cannot make regular payments toward their debts.
