Key takeaway The Harris County Attorney's office has taken a step toward closure by filing a Notice of Intent to Sue.
A community in northwest Harris County may be closer to seeing the Hawthorn Park landfill shut down. The Harris County Attorney's office has taken a step toward closure by filing a Notice of Intent to Sue. This action targets the Hawthorn Park Recycling & Disposal Facility, which is operated by a subsidiary of Waste Management.
The filing was submitted to several entities, including the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the US Environmental Protection Agency. If successful, the action would move the landfill's permit toward closure and trigger post-closure requirements. Further details on this development are available from the source, including the potential outcome of the legal action and the community's response to the news.
