Owners of Middle Tennessee s biggest landfill lost a legal bid to expand their site by nearly 100 acres, with a court ruling on Friday that regional officials had correctly followed the rules in rejecting the plan.
On September 8, Davidson County Chancery Court issued a decision in response to Middle Point’s appeal to the Central Tennessee Solid Waste Regional Board’s denial of application for a northern expansion. In its decision, the court determined that many of the reasons for the regional board's denial were outside the board’s jurisdiction, but ultimately the court chose to affirm certain board findings that Middle Point believes were unsupported by the record and the law.
