    In 2009 Travis Hughes, an equipment operator at Coastal Landfill Disposal of Florida, had to work as a flagman for cars and dump trucks forced to share one lane after a neighboring property owner erected a fence in the middle of the road following an ongoing dispute. Fifteen years later the dispute continues and now the state is warning it will deny the landfill's permit extension over failures to follow rules and state law. [ Times (2009) ]

    The Hudson landfill operator sued earlier this year by the neighbor who has been challenging his business operation for more than a decade now faces an even bigger hurdle.

    This week the Florida Department of Environmental Protection issued a draft notice that it intends to change its mind about issuing a new permit for Coastal Landfill Disposal and instead deny the landfill’s permit extension.
