Tell the US Army Corps of Engineers: No toxic landfill by Forest Lake State Park
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Casella Waste Systems recently submitted a permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for their controversial Granite State Landfill project. This proposed development in the Ammonoosuc River watershed and close to Forest Lake has serious implications for public health and environmental quality in the region.
Though citizens in Dalton and neighboring towns have repeatedly expressed their concerns about the landfill’s impacts, Casella has bypassed local regulatory agencies in their efforts to push through a massive landfill project..
Dalton residents, North Country neighbors and small business owners whose health, environment, and economy will be impacted by this development should get the opportunity to voice their concerns in a public forum.
Please sign this community petition to let the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers know that you are in support of holding a public hearing for Casella’s federal permit application at the White Mountains Regional High School in Whitefield.

Casella Waste Systems recently submitted a federal permit application to build a large private landfill in the Ammonoosuc River watershed and close to Forest Lake State Park, an environmental treasure and a popular recreational destination. . We are deeply concerned about the impacts of this project on nearby wetlands, water quality, and air and soil health, concerns that we have voiced in numerous public forums over the past five years.
Though Dalton citizens and neighboring towns have repeatedly expressed their concerns about the landfill’s impacts, Casella has bypassed local regulatory agencies in their efforts to push through a massive landfill project.l. Dalton residents, small business owners, and North Country neighbors whose health, environment, and economy will be impacted by this development should get the opportunity to voice their concerns in a public forum.
We, the undersigned, are calling on the Army Corps of Engineers to hold a public hearing on this permit application at the White Mountains Regional High School in Whitefield. We hope you will continue acting in the public interest by hearing from the people who will be most-impacted by this decision.
