MAINE PUBLIC • November 13, 2024
The Penobscot Nation and Conservation Law Foundation have filed an appeal in Superior Court to stop the expansion of the Juniper Ridge Landfill in Old Town. In October the state concluded that the expansion was in the public's interest and set several conditions that Casella Waste Management must meet to move forward with the project. Alexandra St. Pierre of the Conservation Law Foundation said the expansion runs contrary to the state's waste management goals, which prioritize reduction of waste volume and using landfills.
