Trustees protest Aber Road sludge disposal plan
Jackson Township trustees vow court action to block a sanitary landfill on Aber Road from handling sewage sludge. Clermont Environmental Reclamation, licensed by EPA since 1972, argues it could manage sludge with strict controls, while critics cite run off and water pollution risks to a nearby creek feeding East Fork River. Local officials ask for EPA and health inspections to ensure proper oversight.
