The statement also says the South Macomb Disposal Authority - which has jurisdiction over the landfill - and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality were notified in July that construction of the berm had damaged trees and methane vents. Taylor declined to comment Tuesday, but the city released a statement saying it granted a soil erosion permit in February for the county to build the berm over the summer. “In my opinion you and the county executive are guilty of violating state regulations governing landfill sites, and both of you are derelict in your duties as elected officials,” Fouts wrote. This time, Fouts called out Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor for approving what he called the “illegal dumping” of excavated dirt on a landfill at Freedom Hill, and said Taylor needs to be investigated.įouts outlined his concerns in a letter addressed to Taylor on Tuesday in which he referred to the mayor and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel as the “pollution cover-up tag team,” and said he was responding to Taylor’s comments to the media about Fouts. Warren Mayor Jim Fouts has taken another jab at a local official in a mounting dispute over environmental issues at Freedom Hill Amphitheatre.
