LISBON — An East Palestine man filed a complaint Thursday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court against the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency director in Columbus, the Penn-Ohio Landfill, Negley, and Noble Environmental, Canonsburg, Pa..

Dennis Scott Wallace, state Route 170, filed the lawsuit pro se, meaning he’s acting as his own attorney.

“Comes now, Dennis Scott Wallace and files this complaint against the Negley, Ohio landfill and state officials for allowing information through fraud and misinformation that caused a historic mound system to be destroyed,” the first line of the complaint said.

The heading on the one-page lawsuit called it a “complaint for fraud, intentional misrepresentation of the facts which caused the landfill to be allowed to destroy an historic ancient mound system, as well as continuing to destroy the same mound.”

He asked the court to find that the actions dealing with the landfill were done under fraud and misrepresentation of the facts.

Wallace is requested that all dumping at the landfill cease and that the “State of Ohio be forced to purchase the landfill which they allowed the landfill to destroy the mound system, and make it into a state park for the citizens of Negley, Ohio.”

The case was assigned to Common Pleas Court Judge Megan Bickerton.
