Dorchester County Blocks Philadelphia Trash Dumping
Dorchester County officials won a temporary injunction to stop disposal of 3,000 tons of Philadelphia incinerated garbage in a private landfill near Summerville. The order bans barges at Yonge's Island from trucking waste to Oak Ridge Landfill, citing public health concerns while state tests show minimal hazardous waste. Governor Riley urged a statewide landfill prohibition, and Democrats push lawsuits and licensing reforms to deter further dumping.
