Atwater still seeking quotes and funding to clean up Flamingo Motel mess

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Cleaning up two potentially toxic debris piles in Atwater and Randolph township continues to be on hold as Atwater trustees struggle to find qualified contractors willing to do the job.

The piles were created July 8, when Fox Contracting owner Jeremiah Johnson attempted to fulfill his contract with the trustees to demolish the old Flamingo Motel at 6893 Waterloo Road in Atwater Township. 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.
