Another class action lawsuit filed against Waste Management over odors from Grand Central Sanitary Landfill - proposed site of Synagro crap bakery in Plainfield Township

On Friday, a second class action lawsuit was filed in Northampton County Court of Common Pleas, against Waste Management for odors emanating from Grand Central Sanitary Landfill.  The lawsuit states that there are believed to be roughly 90 members who may initially be qualified to be members of the class.  There are only three named representatives of the class in the complaint, but rest assured the other 87+/- have signed on to participate.  Complaints of odors from the landfill up to a few months ago that have been received by DEP are here.  In the text of the lawsuit filing it indicates that the remainder of the class members are identified in recorded complaints.

The first lawsuit filed is Huratiak v. Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc., docket entry C-48-CV-2019-00948.

If you are a resident who is being affected by the stench of the landfill on a regular basis, you should contact the Plaintiffs' attorney's office to see if you can become a member of the class.  This lawsuit was filed by John Kotsatos, in Easton.

The Court will have to certify the class, and the Defendant may make motions including challenging that certification, that the two cases should be merged for judicial efficiency, that the case should be dismissed, etc.  Stay tuned... how this plays out will depend on how Waste Management responds and how the Court rules on various motions.
