Dive Summary:

• Due to environmental concerns, Advanced Disposal will close its Moretown landfill site temporarily.
• A settlement was reached between the waste company and the state of Vermont which stipulates that the site will close on July 15, but may reopen if its request for expansion is granted and built.
• The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources did not certify the landfill because of issues with the groundwater quality and for the company's failure to control odor and gas emissions effectively.

From the article:

ANR initially gave Advanced Disposal an April 15 deadline to close the facility, but the Vermont Superior Court Environmental Division extended the ANR deadline to July 15.

Advanced Disposal assumed operations of the landfill last fall, and it since has invested more than $1 million in infrastructure and operational improvements to the facility.
