Land denies the power companies' motions to exclude expert testimony from a mechanical engineer and a real estate appraiser in a nuisance and negligence action brought by the neighbors arising from excessive noise, light, odor and smoke coming from a biomass power plant. The power companies' motions for summary judgment are also partially denied. However, the motions are granted as to the neighbors' claims for nuisances other than noise, vibrations and emissions of particulate matter and continuing nuisance claims based on air quality issues after June 2020.
