U.S. halts hazardous waste shipments from Ohio to Michigan landfill due to court ruling.

The U.S. federal government has paused hazardous waste shipments from Ohio to a Michigan landfill due to a court ruling that halted plans for waste from New York. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had transported materials, including toxic beryllium, from Luckey, Ohio, to Wayne Disposal since 2018. The decision follows concerns from nearby communities about low-level radioactive waste. A court hearing is set for September 26 to address the situation.
