BERLIN — The company proposing to develop a soil disposal facility and use some of the revenue to remediate the existing Dummer Yard Landfill heard concerns about truck traffic, environmental contamination, dust containing asbestos and property values at the March 27 public informational hearing on the proposal. A large crowd filled the city hall auditorium for the hearing.
Opening the hearing, N.H. Department of Environmental Services Director of Waste Management Michael Wimsatt specified that the proposal is a conceptual project and there is no permit application from LFOD Northwoods LLC. Wimsatt said the company is still doing its due diligence and may not be able to get into specifics about its plans for the property.
