Legal Action Sought Against St. Louis Landfill Owner

Posted

BRIDGETON, Mo. (AP) — The director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is asking the state attorney general to take legal action against the owner of a suburban St. Louis landfill that is responsible for foul odors and underground smoldering. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that DNR director Sara Parker Pauley sent a letter to the attorney general's agricultural and environment division Thursday, raising concerns about potential environmental violations at the Bridgeton Sanitary Landfill near Lambert Airport. A spokeswoman for the attorney general's office declined to say what steps may be taken. Bridgeton Landfill LLC says in a statement that it is cooperating with the DNR and local government officials to address the odor issue.
