Napa County DA announces environmental lawsuit settlement with landfill

In March 2019, Clover Flat Land Fill spilled 40,000 gallons of leachate into nearby streams, which are tributaries of the Napa River, Haley said in a news release. Leachate is a liquid created when water runs through the waste in a landfill. Investigators looking into the spill also uncovered other alleged violations, including a road built through what had been a stream and the unauthorized removal of trees and other vegetation, according to prosecutors.
