Moretown, VT Landfill Faces Closure Over Smell

Posted: Updated:
MORETOWN, Vt. -

The owners of the landfill in Moretown have until Monday to come up with a plan to prevent noxious odors at the site or face closure.
 
The Burlington Free Press reports that state officials warned regional solid waste managers last week that the landfill is likely to close because of an inability to comply with state solid waste regulations.
 
Closing the landfill would leave Vermont with one certified landfill operated by Casella Waste Systems in Coventry.
 
Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz said if the landfill owners offer a convincing plan by Monday the agency might be able to issue a permit.
 
A spokesman for the Moretown landfill said he believes the company has a plan that will prove that it can comply with state standards.
