Controversial landfill being proposed again for Hubbard Township

HUBBARD

A controversial construction and demolition debris landfill first proposed by Trans Rail America for the Drummond Avenue-Mount Everett Road area near Interstate 80 in Hubbard Township in 2004 is once again being proposed.

Frank Migliozzi, Trumbull County health commissioner, confirmed Wednesday that the company has revised and re-submitted its original proposal for a 20-acre landfill at the site.

The board of health authorized spending up to $8,000 for the engineering firm Lynn Kittinger and Noble to review the application and report back to the board on whether it meets criteria under Ohio law to be placed at that site.

The board has 90 days to respond to the application.

Migliozzi said several things have changed in the new application.
