Resolve, To Investigate And Address Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Services Issues
This Senate amendment requires the state to obtain a formal decision from the Environmental Protection Commissioner regarding a landfill expansion application before modifying the operating agreement for the Juniper Ridge Landfill. Additionally, it mandates that the landfill operator must implement specific PFAS treatment technologies by January 1, 2027, to address contaminated leachate. These changes directly affect the state's Department of Administrative and Financial Services and the private company currently managing the landfill in Old Town.
