The Atlantic County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved expansion of the county’s landfill in Egg Harbor Township. According to BreakingAC.com, the vote came Tuesday, after numerous residents of nearby Gatherings at Bel Aire Lakes, an over 55 housing development in Absecon, testified that they have health issues that require hospitalization and have vomited from breathing hydrogen sulfide coming from the landfill. The odor emanating from the landfill is negatively affecting their quality of life, residents said. DEP review will take about 18 months, to ensure there is ample capacity for the county’s trash.
