It Only Took Three Months for Industry to Return to the Shingle Mountain Site The shingles are gone, but the landowner wants to use the property for metal sorting. Marsha Jackson, who lives next door, says her home reeks of diesel fuel. By Matt Goodman Published in FrontBurner May 14, 2021 2:34 pm Marsha Jackson has another fight on her hands. For three years, her neighbor was a six-story-tall dump of shingles, which came to be known as Shingle Mountain. It stood there for years as lawsuits wended their way through the courts. Last year, the city finally reached a settlement with one of the landowners to have the pile hauled to the nearby McCommas Bluff Landfill. It was fully removed by February, and the city vowed to begin an environmental assessment and consider acquiring the land, a right given to the city in the settlement.
