A settlement agreement is on the horizon in the lawsuit over Waller County's approval of a proposed landfill, but it would not end the dispute over a company's plans to locate the project near the Hempstead city line.
County Judge Trey Duhon had anticipated that the settlement terms would be presented Wednesday morning to the county's commissioners court for review, but they were not. Members of the court attributed the hiccup to small procedural hurdles, saying that the negotiations were continuing to move forward.
