Supreme Court denies hearing permit challenge

Special to The Beacon ATLANTA — The Georgia Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge by the Brantley County Commission to a Environmental Protection Division permit for a 122-acre landfill in Brantley County, upholding a low court decision finding the permit valid.

Attempts via phone to reach County Manager Joey Cason for comments and the county’s next were unsuccessful.

The court case sprung from former EPD Director Richard E. Dunn’s issuance of a landfill permit in 2023 to Brantley County Development Partners for the landfill on U.S. 82 between Waynesville and Atkinson.
