Arthur Hammel cleaned up the property near Lockport Road and Oak Avenue in the Fairmont neighborhood, Underhill said.
The illegal dump came to the attention of local officials after a fire there burned for two weeks in July 1996. The fire was fueled by piles of burning tires, roofing material, rusted barrels and mattresses. Not even July’s 100-year rains doused the blaze.
