By Ben GlickmanA New Hampshire court upheld Casella Waste Systems' permit to expand a landfill, reversing a previous ruling against the expansion. The Rutland, Vt.-based garbage and recycling manager said Friday that the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled the state's environmental services department acted lawfully in issuing a permit for the expansion of Casella's Bethlehem, N.H., landfill. The ruling reverses a decision by the New Hampshire Waste Management Council. The court ruled that the company's expansion did satisfy a need for capacity and was lawful. "This decision recognizes the ongoing need for disposal capacity in the state," said Chief Executive John Casella.
