Description
Appellant Town of Torrington appeals a judgment of the district court in and for Goshen County affirming the finalization of a cease and desist order entered by the appellee Environmental Quality Council of Wyoming against Torrington in connection with its use of a solid waste disposal site. The Town of Torrington had begun use of a piece of land for a municipal waste disposal site, it being part of a larger parcel of land owned by the Town, bordering the North Platte River, another portion of which had previously been used as a Town waste disposal facility. In response to citizen complaints of blowing paper and other offensive aspects of the changed landfill operation on Town land, the Department of Environmental Quality made an on-the-spot inspection. As a result of the survey, because of a disclosed danger of polluting State waters, a notice was sent to the Mayor of Torrington specifying statutes being violated, §§ 35-502.43 and 35-502.18(a)(i), and advising him of the requirement that plans for the disposal site must be submitted to the director of the Department for approval. No response was forthcoming so on August 19, 1974, a cease and desist order was issued by the Department. At Torringtons request, a hearing was held in September, 1974, and the Environmental Quality Council affirmed the Departments order. On appeal to the District Court, the Councils decision was approved. Enforcement has been stayed pending the outcome of this appeal.
