A&L SALVAGE More troubles

The A&L Salvage landfill, which is in portions of Center, Elkrun and Madison townships, has had its share of problems. Here are some of them:

2005: The landfill had to pay a civil penalty of $56,533 for taking solid waste — garbage — when it is supposed to accept only demolition debris.

August 2006: The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency notified the landfill it was violating air-pollution standards for hydrogen sulfide, dust limits and asbestos handling. No penalty has been imposed. The information was passed on to the attorney general’s office.

September 2006: A&L paid a civil penalty of $13,000 for offenses in 2004.

May 2008: The OEPA announced plans to end the company’s permit.

October 2008: Columbiana County officials say they will get a judgment against A&L for not paying for its portion of a waterline.
