County sued over Florin-Perkins landfill
A coalition of business and property owners in south Sacramento has sued the county over its approval of a permit for a new solid-waste transfer station at the former Florin-Perkins Landfill.
The Power Inn Alliance, which claims to represent more than 600 local business and property owners, filed the suit in Sacramento County Superior Court. The suit alleges the county violated the California Environmental Quality Act by not requiring an environmental impact report before issuing the permit.
Power Inn Alliance executive director Jerry Vorpahl said in a written statement that the county should have required upgrades, including a covered facility for processing waste. The suit also alleges the county should have considered impacts on global warming and investigated whether the landfill is consistent with the county's general plan cash advance loans cash advance in one hour.
The landfill, on Florin-Perkins Road south of Jackson Highway, closed in 2005 after state and county environmental regulators accused it of operating violations. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board fined the former managers $650,000.
San Jose-based Zanker Road Resource Management Ltd. signed an agreement with the property owners to manage the site as a solid waste transfer station.
