Abstract

"this just in" piece questioning the decision by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to award a permit to Casella Waste Systems for the Old Town landfill, and pointing out that in order to be profitable, the deal between Casella and Georgia-Pacific would require importing out-of-state waste. Activist group We the People and Old Town resident Paul Schroeder are both suing the DEP over the landfill permit. Sen. John Martin, D-Eagle Lake, has proposed a bill that would make it illegal to import out-of-state construction and demolition debris.
