BERLIN — Will the proposal to remediate the Dummer Yard landfill and create a soil monofill be stalled by a moratorium on new landfills?
LFOD Northwoods LLC is considering a proposal that would establish a soil monofill to generate the revenue to remediate the abandoned Dummer Landfill. The monofill would accept contaminated soil and incinerator ash from across New England.
