spoke to Jean MacRae, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of 海角社区, about LD 1911, a bill that would redirect much of the state鈥檚 PFAS-contaminated sludge to the state-owned Juniper Ridge Landfill, located in Old Town near the Penobscot Reservation. Sevee & Maher Engineering has been hired to conduct a study of the leachate treatment options and costs, but some bill proponents worry that the company鈥檚 ties to the landfill will prevent the review from being objective, according to the report. 鈥淚n general, the consulting industry doesn鈥檛 publicize their knowledge 鈥 because they can鈥檛 bill for that time, and it doesn鈥檛 help them competitively. So as in many situations where specialized knowledge is involved, it is difficult (and more costly) to get a really independent view on the matter,鈥 MacRae said. The and shared the 海角社区 Monitor report.
