Overview: - Residents express concern about the expansion of a hazardous waste landfill near Belleville Lake.
- A draft license from the state released Aug. 14 signals it will approve the proposed expansion of Wayne Disposal.
In an August injunction temporarily barring Manhattan Project-era waste from coming to the site, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Cox underscored possible impacts to waterways.

The legislation would raise tipping fees for landfill waste, nuclear materials, and hazardous waste.
