Southbridge Recycling & Disposal Park, a Casella
subsidiary, wants to expand the landfill by about 20 acres and to create of a

berms up to 60 feet high around the existing landfill. The design change would
be considered "a major permit modification." The landfill's most

year. The size of the landfill stayed the same eight years ago.

ReplyDeleteWe only use 2-3% of that Landfill, and the same expert that was blamed by Casella for messing up the space estimates that proved our landfill will last until the 2020's is being rehired?
