A New Hampshire court upheld Casella Waste Systems' permit to
expand a landfill, reversing a previous ruling against the
expansion.
The Rutland, Vt.-based garbage and recycling manager said Friday
that the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled the state's
environmental services department acted lawfully in issuing a
permit for the expansion of Casella's Bethlehem, N.H.,
landfill.
The ruling reverses a decision by the New Hampshire Waste
Management Council.
The court ruled that the company's expansion did satisfy a need
for capacity and was lawful.
The original appeal of the permit was brought by the
Conservation Law Foundation.
"This decision recognizes the ongoing need for disposal capacity
in the state," said Chief Executive John Casella.
