Utah Investigates Logan Landfill For Leachate Discharge

Date: November 2, 2005

Source: News Room

Officials with the city of Logan, Utah have been served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney's Office following a May incident in which liquid waste from the Logan Landfill was diverted into stormwater paths. Workers at the landfill were apparently told to pump leachate into a nearby ditch to prevent a road from being washed out, but it took six days for the city to report the incident to the state Department of Environmental Quality.
