The suit filed Nov. 1, 2016, followed complaints from several jurisdictions including Dayton, Jefferson Twp., Kettering, Miamisburg, Oakwood and West Carrollton, but most of the complaints came from Moraine and Jefferson Twp.

“Additionally and perhaps of greater importance, the settlement agreement requires defendants to implement $1,450,000 worth of improvement measures to the Stony Hollow Landfill in order to reduce the potential for odor emissions,” according to federal court documents filed Friday seeking final approval of the settlement.
