Owner of Hotel Damaged by Methane Gas From Adjacent Landfill Not Entitled to Administrative Claim

There were a number of methane cases in 2011. This case involves a hotel that was constructed next to a landfill. When the methane gas collection failed during the bankruptcy proceeding of the landfill operator, explosive levels of methane gas reached the hotel. The hotel suffered such a severe decline in business that the owner filed for bankruptcy itself and ended up selling the hotel for 20% of its value due to the methane problems.
