House bill targets landfill proposal in Dalton
April 20, 2021
A landfill proposal in northern New Hampshire is kicking up dust in the state Legislature, with some lawmakers supporting a bill to ban landfills near state parks. Nobody likes to imagine a pile of trash next to scenic lake, but lawmakers are also concerned about shrinking landfill capacity and state interference in local zoning laws.
The bill was prompted by one very specific proposal in Coos County. Casella Waste Systems Inc., a waste management company, is applying for a permit from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to build a private landfill in Dalton near Lake Forest State Park.
