State aid assured Chittenden County waste plan
Environmental Conservation Secretary Martin Johnson said a fulltime state engineer will assist the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission on a pilot solid waste disposal and resource recovery program. An eventual county solid waste authority could bond for operations. Local officials and Velco land use for a landfill at a power plant site were discussed. Some lawmakers urged broader state involvement and eminent domain consideration, while others cautioned against rushing. Johnson faulted the state for lacking leadership on solid waste management.
