The Fairport Harbor mine is a salt mine in Fairport Harbor, Ohio owned by Morton Salt. It is one of two salt mines in the Cleveland area, the other being Morton Salt's Fairport Harbor mine to the east.[1]
In 2012, Morton, along with Cargill, its only competitor in the state,[2] were the target of a antitrust lawsuit filed by the Ohio Attorney General.[3] The suit alleged price fixing in rock salt sold to state and local governments.[4] In 2015, the case settled for $11.5 million.[5][2][6]
The mine houses the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detector.[12]
