Ralph Beavers v. County Walker

PER CURIAM. The plaintiffs, Ralph Beavers and nine other residents of Walker County, appeal from a judgment entered by the Walker Circuit
Court in favor of the defendants, the County of Walker (the "County"), the Walker County Commission (the "Commission"), the
Walker County Solid Waste Disposal Authority (the "Authority"), and Browning-Ferris Industries of Alabama, Inc. ("BFI"). The
plaintiffs had sought a declaratory judgment and preliminary and permanent injunctions to enjoin the defendants from constructing
a sanitary solid waste landfill on 680 acres in eastern Walker County, near Dora, adjacent to the unincorporated Bryan community.
For the reasons expressed below, we reverse the trial court's judgment in favor of the defendants.
