The South Gettysburg Avenue site has also been barred from discharging waste into Dayton's sewer system and its odor issue is the focus of a class-action federal lawsuit. But the EPA has said the Waste Management-owned site has complied with its orders to address the odors.
Moraine City Manager David Hicks said he sought the temporary ban after that city received hundreds of complaints. Other communities concerned about the odor include Kettering, Miamisburg, Oakwood, West Carrollton, and Jefferson and Miami townships.
Because this request deals with an active solid waste disposal contract, “we are reviewing the contract and disposal options with our legal counsel,” according to Brianna M. Wooten, communications coordinator for the county environmental services. “Our staff’s findings and recommendations should be presented at the meeting.”
