Board rejects Cadena bid for fill dirt from Indian Bend Wash
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors rejected Ben Cadena’s claim for 20,000 yards of landfill dirt from the Indian Bend Wash outlet. Cadena argued a soil disposal agreement let construction vehicles cross his land in exchange for dirt. County officials said only dirt the contractor cannot sell privately could be given. Cadena’s counsel accused officials of misrepresentation and said further action is possible.
