The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday refused to review a dispute between two Northwest Arkansas solid waste districts over landfill fees.
The Benton County Solid Waste District asked the state Supreme Court in January to review rulings against it from lower courts and the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
The Appeals Court ruled in November the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District is entitled to a portion of landfill fees generated by the Benton County district.
This unanimous decision upheld Washington County Circuit Judge John Threet's decision, which stated the Benton County district lacked the authority to replace its $1.50-per-ton waste assessment fee with its own 1-cent-per-ton waste assessment fee.
The Benton County district replaced its fee with the 1-cent-per-ton fee and a $1.49-per-ton
