BERLIN — The Berlin City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the services agreement with CMA Engineers of Portsmouth on Monday to add the additional cost of $26,000 for evaluation and corrective action on issues relating to landfill gas migration at the East Milan Road landfill.

The amendment comes as the result of a letter of deficiency issued to the City of Berlin by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Security, dated June 11, that specified compliance requirements of the city to: develop a contingency plan; monthly reporting to DES and development of a mitigation plan to permanently reduce methane concentrations at the landfill to less than 50 percent of the lower explosive limit at the property line in accordance with DES requirements.
