Staff Report
In response to a letter submitted by the town of Greenland, New Hampshire’s top environmental enforcement officer has put the Coakley Landfill Group on notice regarding toxic chemicals leaching from the closed landfill into Berry’s Brook.
After attending a remote meeting of the Coakley Landfill Group (CLG) on April 14, Steven Smith, chairman of the Greenland Board of Selectmen, wrote a formal letter to Robert Scott, head of the NH Department of Environmental Services, flagging what he perceived as the CLG’s lack of seriousness and concern regarding PFAS and other chemicals leaching into the town’s groundwater.
