Bulldozing for Fly Ash Dump Sparks Local Fight in Eaton
On Route 83 in Eaton Township residents watch bulldozers move across a 200 acre site as CEI plans to bring fly ash from Avon Lake. The EPA approved the project but residents and the Eaton Township Action Committee seek to overturn it. Local families worry dust and diesel fumes will affect asthma plagued children. The township trustees press a court challenge to block zoning exemptions while hearings proceed.
