Waste Plan in San Diego May Be Scrapped
A $4 million EPA funded plan to convert solid waste to fuel faces cancellation as seven proposed San Diego County sites were dropped amid resident objections. Only a site near the Chula Vista landfill remains possible, but may fail EPA cost guidelines. If no site is approved by Sept 30, the grant is lost.
