Lisbon landfill to correct problems at closed site

LISBON

A&L Salvage Landfill has agreed to more than a $4 million settlement with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to correct long-standing problems at its closed landfill.

The owners of A&L Salvage Landfill, 11225 state Route 45, agreed Tuesday to a preliminary injunction that will result in a proper closure of the former construction- and demolition-debris landfill.

The agreement with Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray and OEPA director Chris Korleski, will require A&L Salvage to forfeit more than $4 million in financial-assurance bonds so the money may be used to cap the landfill’s 42-acre disposal area.
