Greene, who served as vice president, and Johnson, who served as the landfill's general manager, were both booked into the Brevard County Jail on Wednesday, January 19. The two have been charged with two felony counts of dumping hazardous waste, four felony counts of commercial littering, two misdemeanor counts of criminal solicitation, and one count of criminal conspiracy. Armed with a search warrant, DEP's Division of Law Enforcement excavated specific sites within the landfill property on January 11-13. Under the authority of two additional search warrants, computers and business records were seized from Delta Recycling's office and Ms. Johnson's residence. In a separate issue, a pending injunction filed by Brevard County to close the landfill was granted last Thursday by the 18 h Circuit Court.
Enforcement is a major deterrent to future environmental crime.
