Ohio EPA recommends no license for A&L Salvage

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

LISBON — Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Chris Korleski is proposing that A&L Salvage be, well, buried

Korleski said that he has recomended the landfill be closed, but noted that an appeal would be likely.

A&L has 30 days file an appeal, according to Mike Settles, an OEPA spokesman.

The landfill sought an operating license to increase from 43 acres, adding another 229 acres.

In a letter to local residents, Korleski said, “I do not believe this facility is in compliance and it will not receive an operating license until it can be demonstrated to me that the various issues of concern have been addressed.”
