Pending approval from the Portage County Prosecutor’s Office, Atwater trustees tentatively accepted a $76,600 bid from HEPA Environmental Services in Rootstown to clean up two potentially toxic debris piles in Atwater and Randolph.
The debris piles were created July 8, when Fox Contracting owner Jeremiah Johnson attempted to fulfill his $12,500 contract with the trustees to pull down the old Flamingo Motel at 6893 Waterloo Road. He transported the debris to his property at 5185 Eberly Road in Randolph Township, intending to take it from there to a landfill in Minerva when he had time.
