缅因州批准扩建61英的垃圾填埋场, 并制定新的环境保护措施. 这引发了部落和生态问题的反对. Maine approves 61-acre landfill expansion with new environmental safeguards, sparking opposition over tribal and ecological concerns.

缅因州监管机构批准了在老城区的树山垃圾填埋场扩建61英,增加1200万立方码容量以延长其寿命并解决全州废物需求. Maine regulators have approved a 61-acre expansion of the Juniper Ridge Landfill in Old Town, adding 12 million cubic yards of capacity to extend its life and address statewide waste needs. 根据法院的裁决, 该决定包括新的保障措施:从液中去除PFAS,限制污泥和碎片,第三方气味顾问以及实时预警系统. The decision, made after a court ordered a reconsideration, includes new safeguards: PFAS removal from leachate, limits on sludge and debris, a third-party odor consultant, and a real-time alert system. 尽管采取了这些措施,但布斯科特国家和环境保护组织反对该项目,认为它未能充分考虑部落土地和布士科特河流域的累积环境影响. Despite these measures, the Penobscot Nation and environmental groups oppose the project, arguing it fails to adequately consider cumulative environmental impacts on tribal lands and the Penobscot River watershed. 部落和保护法基金会正在审查判决, The tribe and Conservation Law Foundation are reviewing the ruling to decide whether to appeal.
