County mulls audit and halt of Allied paybacks
Lorain County Administrator Jim Cordes proposed stopping reimbursement to Allied Waste for $1.40 of the $4 per ton fee at the New Russia Township landfill until an EPA dispute is resolved. The district has rebated Allied over $1.1 million since 2010, with total district receipts around $2.6 million last year. If EPA enforcement occurs, the county general fund may need to repay the $1.1 million.
