Watchdog groups in four states are trying to stop the Army from trucking VX waste from Indiana to New Jersey.

I-Team 8 has been documenting the Army's plan to transport VX nerve agent waste -- called hydrolysate -- from the Newport Chemical Depot in Indiana to New Jersey. There the Army proposes to further treat the waste at a DuPont facility and then dump it into the Delaware River.

The groups filed a lawsuit against the Army Thursday. They claim the Army's plan to transport waste across state lines violates a federal law banning interstate movement of chemical weapons.

The complaint seeks to force the Army to complete an environmental impact statement before the project is allowed to move forward.
