County sues stump dump owner for 9 million over prolonged fire
Baltimore County filed a 9 million-dollar suit in Circuit Court against James Jett, owner of a Granite stump dump in Towson, alleging negligence as a smoldering fire burning since February 1991 is buried by 250000 cubic yards of dirt. Maryland Environmental Service says smoke control is about 90 percent with no fixed end date. The site should be monitored for a year to ensure smothering, and the county cites violation of a court order by accepting new debris, worsening damage to nearby streams.
