Regulators will have more time to determine whether the public will benefit from expanding the state-owned landfill in Old Town. The deadline for completing the review of Casella Waste Systems’ proposal to expand Juniper Ridge Landfill was Aug. 23. But regulators now have until Sept. 23, with a deadline for the public to submit comments set for Sept. 5, according to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. That’s to give staff more time to “thoroughly” review Casella’s application and supporting documents, receive and review public comments, and give the public time to review information.
