Bethlehem landfill notified of compliance deficiency
May 06, 2021BETHLEHEM Last week, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services issued a Letter of Deficiency to North Country Environmental Services (NCES) for exceeding landfill capacity. The news came one month after the Conservation Law Foundation filed a civil complaint against the Bethlehem landfill.
According to the letter, NHDES Waste Management Division Assistant Director Sarah Yuas Kim informed NCES Manager Kevin Roy that the company had violated a permit modification from Aug. 15, 2014. The landfill secured NHDES approval for a Stage VI expansion last October.
NCES completed expansion construction in Dec 2020 with the intent to begin receiving waste last month. Stage VI extended its footprint beyond Bethlehem Zoning District V, which remains the only district that allows landfills.
