The county is simply trying to get the land that the landfill sits on at a cheap cost. The road project has been on the table for years between the county and the landfill and the county wants to make esculated accusations to shut them down so that they can swoop in and buy up the land cheap. Typical county politics and they will throw anyone under the bus. Shame on the county for allowing more costs to shut down a facility just because a resident in the area wants to complain. The same resident that was more than likely cought stealing metal from the landfill for their own pocket money.

Big whoopee
Remember the Saufley Field C & D landfill fiasco?
Same type landfill
Same non-compliance issues
Same foot stomping threats by DEP and Escambia County.

Landfill owner gave both the one finger salute and walked away scott free.

Escambia spent millions (so far) to cut the height down, haul some debris to the Perdido Landfill and cover it.

Millions more will have to be spent in the future to remediate the damage caused when pollutants escaping and contaminating the environment eventually happens.

These landfill owners fill their pockets with profits until they get shutdown.
They know up front that no matter what the regulations are, the enforcers will not do their job for years.
