A Sky Valley man says his neighbor is causing an environmental health code violation by illegally dumping and burying junk. Now he’s asking the county to get involved.

Roland Taageas says his neighbor Michael Walker is piling up junk on his property and it’s getting a little too close for comfort.

“The pollution that’s going on out here, the trash that’s going into the ground,” said Taageas.

Taageas says walker is fixing cars and flipping them for cash. He also says the parts Walker does not use are going into the ground, including oil and other non-biodegradable materials.

“At first it wasn’t to bad but it got to the point where there is twenty-thirty cars here all the time,” said Taageas.
