County settles three - year dispute over two landfills
Ohio’s Morrow County Board of Health agreed this week to issue a license for one of two proposed construction- and demolition-debris landfills, ending its three-year legal battle with a Columbus company.
As part of an agreement with C &DD Acquisitions, the board on Tuesday dropped its appeal of a state order to consider license applications for the two landfills.
The board approved licensing the proposed site in WashingtonTownship, near Iberia in the northern part of the county, and agreed to conditions on how the site will be operated. The two sides agreed to indefinitely delay consideration of a second site in HarmonyTownship, near Fulton in the southern part of the county, said Morrow County Health Commissioner Krista Wasowski.
The terms were drawn to comply with a newly enacted state law regulating such landfills, Wasowski said.
The license applications were rejected in 2004 by the health board and re-filed last year after the state Environmental Review Appeals Commission overruled the board.
