I see the old dump on the cities East Side has been reopened for business. I thought for a second that someone broke into the dump, but it is obvious that someone has a key.
I never saw dump fees in the cities income budget, so I guess the mayor has found some new revenue!!!!!

Sure looks like someone had a key!
These two cars were parked just outside the gates in a no parking zone.

Back in 1998 or 1999, The port Authority commissioned the Landfill Environment Assessment Project for the Root Road Landfill.
Ohio EPA ID 247-0473
I didn’t know that the facility was accepting any materials.
Sure was nice to get a nice contact list with everyone phone numbers from the EPA on it.
Can I stop by city hall and pick up my key?
The dump IS OPEN, isn’t it?
No Trespassing” signs were posted on the property yesterday as a deterrent to all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts who have been damaging the property, Romancak said.
In July, City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting ATVs from a former landfill on the site because they were destroying the methane gas cap on it.
Anyone caught trespassing on the property with an ATV can be subject to criminal damaging charges, a mandatory three-day jail sentence with a maximum jail sentence of up to 30 days, a $500 fine, according to Lorain Law Director Mark Provenza.
Under the ordinance, the ATVs or other vehicles that trespass on the property are considered contraband and subject to forfeiture, Provenza said.
Just to make sure I don’t get into any trouble, if you take an ATV to the dump, the city can take it, but dump trucks are OK?
I am just so confused.
The tires are tearing up the cap on that landfill. They have successfully done so in several of those acres. That allows the methane gas to seep through. Anyone who would create a spark or have a campfire out there can cause an underground fire at quite a large expense for US Steel. After June 12, that property will belong to us. One fire cost them a couple hundred thousand to put out. The last fire they had there cost them about $30,000. If we can’t enforce the no trespassing, then we are just wasting our time and a great deal of money. Our efforts will be undermined from the start.
The problem was explained by Mr. Prudoff
PRUDOFF: Part of our plan in the industrial area is to put up a fence, however with a rot iron eight-foot fence there are so many ways into the 400-acre area that a fence would be impossible. There are roadways the trucking companies take going in and out of Henderson. There is no way you could provide security. There is at least a dozen ways in this area.
SO WHO GAVE THEM A KEY?
