COURT ISSUES CONSENT
ORDER IN MOSSBURG'S
SOUTHLAWN OPERATION For Immediate Release: January 17,1996
The District Court for Montgomery County today issued a consent order to
William Mossburg, Jr., requiring him to pay $100 as the civil penalty for
violation of County Code 48-9, which prohibits operation of a solid waste
acceptance facility without proper permits. The violation occurred at his
facility located at 15121 Southlawn Lane in Rockville.
The consent order is the result of an agreement reached between Mossburg
and the County in settling a series of 13 civil citations that Mossburg was
issued by County officials between August 29 and 31, 1995 for zoning and solid
waste violations.
"I think this is a fair settlement with Mr. Mossburg regarding this
particular issue," said County Attorney Charles Thompson. "He has taken the
proper steps to cleanup up his property on Southlawn and hopefully that will
continue to be the case. Now, we can concentrate on recovering money spent by
the County on cleaning up his property on Travilah Road, and other pending
issues regarding his future operations on Southlawn Lane."
In the terms of the consent order, issued by District Court Judge Edwin
Collier, Mossburg admits and the court finds him guilty of one violation of
operating an illegal solid waste acceptance facility on August 29.
As for the other 12 civil citations, the County agrees to
place them on the Stet docket (holding file) for a period of one year, after
which time they will be dropped provided no further code violations are found
at 15121 Southlawn Lane. # # #
