Citizens sue to halt sludge farm in Clermont County
In Batavia Township a citizen coalition sues to stop the Ross Road sludge farm proposing to dump 302 acres for EPA mandated regional sewage disposal. They argue only 125 usable acres meet requirements, with soil and runoff concerns, odor issues, and impact on Batavia schools and nearby homes cited by spokesman William L. Charles.
