An ongoing dispute between property owners who live near the Dothan landfill is still not over, though the property owners are winning right now.
Lewis and his neighbors filed suit after the city bought property adjacent to the original site that had become full.
With the legal battle pending, Dothan began shipping its garbage to Florida, then reopened the landfill in 2020 because it appeared all reasonable legal challenges had been exhausted. But Lewis and the others refused to quit and appealed to the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals that sided with them, the ruling upheld Friday by the state’s highest court.
The 10-year legal battle has included allegations that landfill dirt is toxic and graves were destroyed to build the dump. The city has declined to comment on the latest ruling, but the case is almost certainly headed back to court.
