Professor Rowell on Toxic Waste Storage in Clinton Landfill Bill

Monday, July 02, 2012

Environmental law expert, Arden Rowell, explains a bill in the General Assembly that would give towns and counties more control over toxic waste storage in local landfills. "It's essentially giving every single county touching the aquifer veto power, and every municipality as well," she said. She noted that it includes the agency's own recommendation that sites like the one proposed at Clinton Landfill not sit above "high-value" groundwater.
