Dalton Landfill Permit Denial Sparks Appeals from Developer and Environmental Group as Senate Stalls Bills

The applicant seeking to build a landfill in Dalton has filed an appeal contesting the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services’ April 3 denial of its permit application. A local environmental group also appealed DES’s decision this week, arguing that DES didn’t go far enough. Meanwhile, at the statehouse, a Senate committee has put the brakes on two landfill-related bills supported by North Country residents. One senator says people have reached out to him with concerns, though he does not specify the concerns or who he spoke with.
