A Utah chemist who accused the Army of harassment after he reported alleged environmental violations at a military research site near Salt Lake City asked a federal appeals court in Denver on Wednesday to restore a $1.5 million judgment he was first awarded and later denied.
David Hall won the judgment in 2002 when an administrative law judge ruled he had been harassed, threatened and discriminated against by the Army when he worked as a civilian at Utah’s Dugway Proving Grounds starting in 1986.
The Labor Department’s Administrative Review Board later reversed the decision and dismissed the case.
Hall claimed waste was stored and disposed of improperly at Dugway and that two areas were contaminated with chemicals.
