CONCORD — North Country Environmental Services, Inc., owner and operator of NCES Landfill in Bethlehem has entered into a consent decree with the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, agreeing to pay $1.9 million in civil penalties, said Attorney General John M. Formella on Monday.
“This consent decree constitutes the largest civil penalty ever obtained by the state for violations related to New Hampshire’s Solid Waste Management Act,” Formella said in a prepared statement. “Landfills are highly regulated and are designed and built to ensure safety to the public and the environment. This case demonstrates our commitment to holding accountable those that violate our statutes and rules created for the purpose of protecting the state’s environment and natural resources.”
