Members of C.L.E.A.R. (Citizens for Landfill Environmental Accountability and Responsibility) strongly support the ANR’s decision to deny re-certification. The landfill’s neighbors believe that Moretown Landfill must be held accountable for thirteen years of landfill environmental violations. The re-certification denial by ANR ensures that the fugitive odor problems that have plagued our neighborhood for years, will finally be corrected.

Members of C.L.E.A.R. urge Vermonters to remember that Moretown Landfill’s problems are not limited to fugitive odors, from existing Cells 2 and 3. Residents believe if the landfill is issued a permit for a new cell (#4), currently pending ANR review, we are opening the door to continuing damage to adjacent homes from blasting, dumping of hazardous and banned wastes, contaminated groundwater and excess leachate levels for the next 18 years.

 

The Moretown Landfill has a long and documented history of operational violations. When the Agency of Natural Resources addresses these violations, the Moretown Landfill is sent a "Notice of Alleged Violation", or NOAV.
