This issue is close to me as I have friends who have flipped upside down over this. In the last 6 months they purchased $175k worth of cars that smell like a camp fire now. They were hosing ash off the paint daily to prevent damage to the exterior. They have moved out of their 4 year old 500k dollar house because of the air quality and currently live in a rented garden home with a few pieces of rented furniture. Driving to family’s house to do laundry. It’s not just cigarette smoke that causes long term health issues and they are other things buried out there than wood debris I know for a fact. The owner has not addressed issues that we’re supposed to be taken care of years ago.
I hope this provides some perspective. If the price goes up because of a disaster resulting from a mismanaged stump dump, so be it. You really needed to see this fire in person to appreciate how big of a nightmare it really is.
I know of this thing shuts down it will be an inconvenience for folks in the tree business, but see above for a real inconvenience. Have they called ADEM? Yes. I assure you there is no stone being left unturned. Civil suit against the landfill owner?

How much of what you tree guys cut down could be donated for firewood? That is just an idea. I am sure there are some of the debris that isn't useful for that, but maybe you could find out how many mens' groups are involved in the area churches and see if any of them would be interested in starting a firewood ministry of sorts (be willing to cut it up into useable lengths, stack it/load it/deliver it, etc). I am sure it would help some of the older folks out who are on fixed incomes who cannot go out and cut their own any more and it would give you a place to at least offload some of what you need to dispose of. As for what wouldn't make good firewood, do you have room on your farm to have a dedicated burn pile for it? i sell firewood around montgomery and every tree service i ask about getting trees from dropped at my house looks at me like im crazy. i dont get it, they get rid of junk trees for free and i get trees to process into firewood.
