CARSON CITY —In their appeal to the State Environmental Commission over NDEPs issuance of an operating permit for the construction of a class 1 landfill, Robert Dolan and Massey Mayo alleged there would be environmental damage and the beauty of the playa would be negatively affected if the project moved forward.
In seeking to have the appeal dismissed, Recology argued the two lack standing to bring such an appeal.
The arguments of the two sides are essentially the same ones they've made all along; they’re just being heard in a new venue.
