Maine DEP & Big Waste agree at Jan 7, 2021 BEP mtg: keep Out Of State Waste flowing into Maine! (but in an "environmentally just" way)

On January 7, 2021, Maine Board of Environmental Protection held a zoom meeting that included waste rule changes brought forward by citizens group Don't Waste ME, Penobscot Nation, and others. HEAR AUDIO BELOW. Fact Sheet (PDF) :: Draft Rule Chapter (PDF) :: Citizen Petition :: Adoption Packet The BEP declined to accept any but one rule change - addition of the term "environmental justice" into its lexicon.

The major change hoped for would've (1)define waste as "Maine Waste" only if it originated in Maine. This to end a recycling loophole that lets thousands of truckloads of waste to be brought to Maine every year from other states and landfilled as "Maine waste". Adoption of the term Environmental Justice as a regulatory criterion for state siting or expansion of landfills or their discharging waste is at least one victory
