Request denied.
Following a lengthy public comment period during its Wednesday evening meeting, the Eaton Township Zoning Commission rejected a rezoning request from Ross Environmental Services, Inc.
Ross Environmental Services requested rezoning for 218 acres of its Eaton Twp. property from “light industrial” to “heavy industrial.” The company said the change would allow for it to turn 23 acres into a landfill, referred to as “monofil,” so it could dispose of ashes from materials destroyed in its incinerators.
Vice President of Building Development Darrell Zielinski said, “Building a monofil will allow Ross to control its outputs, assure they’re handled correctly, compliantly, and affordably.”“I’m a registered nurse. I’ve been for over 40 years. I’m also a Gulf War vet and I’ve seen the ramifications of what chemicals can do to you,” said Cam Rhodenhamel, who owns property in the township.
Some of the company’s employees spoke in its defense Wednesday, touting the necessary and responsible work of their employer. Some concerns centered around the vagueness of the township’s zoning definition of “heavy industrial.”
