United States Third Circuit

Repeal and replacement of 49 UC 44718(d) regarding regulation and placement of waste disposal facilities near airports mooted challenges to old statute's constitutionality. Appellant's failure to raise due process arguments in state court did not deprive it of substantive due process.
