PRESS RELEASE
April 20, 2021
The Dearborn County Commissioners have reached out to the Hamilton County Commissioners, the Whitewater Township Trustees as well as the Ohio EPA to voice their concern regarding the expansion of the Rumpke Bond Road landfill.
They have also reached out to Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Response from Chad Pittman, Southeast Regional Office Compliance Staff with IDEM stated, “IDEM is aware of the site in Ohio and have had discussions with the engineers. They have been assured Rumpke has no plans to expand into their property in Indiana.” Kate Garvey, Southeast Regional Permit Staff at IDEM was uncertain what their office could do since this is not an Indiana permitted site. She provided the following contact information for anyone wanting to reach out to Ohio with concerns.
