A bill that would ban the disposal of construction and demolition debris in a landfill or in an incineration facility was tabled because its sponsor was absent from a committee workshop, according to a report in the Bangor News Daily (Bangor, Maine).
According to the report, the state Legislature’s Natural Resources Committee held a workshop to discuss the proposed bill LD 141, which was then tabled because its sponsor, state Sen. John Martin (D-Eagle Lake) was absent.
The bill is a response to a proposed Massachusetts law that bans burying and burning of C&D debris in Massachusetts, even if it originates in the state.
