What happens if a closed landfill is identified on a piece of property but there never was a landfill?
There is an appeal process if a property owner wants to dispute the identification of a closed landfill on his property. The property owner may offer proof that the waste was removed from the site and/or he may sign an affidavit attesting that the property was never used as a landfill. However, the TCEQ ultimately makes the decision.
