Committee Endorses Bill That Would Make Companies Pay For Disposal Of Packaging In Maine

AP FILE - In this Dec. 17, 2019, file photo, Amazon packages move along a conveyor at an Amazon warehouse facility in Goodyear, Ariz. When Maine consumers buy something from companies large and small, they must often pay to dispose of all the cardboard and plastic that it s packaged in. But businesses could soon shoulder more of those costs under a bill that s moving through the Legislature. It s become expensive for Maine communities to recycle their household trash, and as a result, they re sending more of it to the landfill. But Maine could soon be the first state in the nation to try a different approach.

UNH research: Journey of PFAS in wastewater facilities highlights regulation challenges

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have conducted two of the first studies in New England to collectively show that toxic man-made chemicals called PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances), found in everything from rugs to product packaging, end up in the environment differently after being processed through wastewater treatment facilities making it more challenging to set acceptable screening levels.

Bill inspired by South Portland fuel tank emissions earns committee endorsement

Bill inspired by South Portland fuel tank emissions earns committee’s endorsement The bill would require installation of monitoring stations near tanks and the collection of emissions caused while loading fuel into tanker trucks. Share Petroleum tank farms in Maine would have to continuously monitor emissions and take other steps to reduce off-gassing from aboveground tanks under a bill that received a committee endorsement on Monday. The bill is a response to concerns in South Portland about noxious odors and air pollution emanating from massive tanks located along the city’s waterfront in close proximity to schools, residential neighborhoods and businesses. Although those concerns date back decades, momentum has built since 2019 to tighten monitoring and reporting of emissions from petroleum tanks amid a high-profile dispute between state and federal regulators over emissions levels.
