Environment

I live in a small suburb outside of Cleveland known as Fairview Park. There are no big environmental issues in my hometown necessarily, but there was and still is an incident in Garfield Heights which is about twenty minutes from where I live. In 2006 a shopping center was build on an old landfill. When it was first opened all was good, but upon further inspection EPA insisted all the stores needed additional venting because the old land fill was still getting rid of the methane gas. Most of the stores and restaurants decided to relocate because it wasn't a good business choice. This was a very big deal for along time, I heard about the ordeal for a few years following the incident.
