Fiberight Breaks Ground on WTE Facility in Maine

Waste360 Staff | Oct 27, 2016

Earlier this year, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)  issued permits to the state’s Municipal Review Committee and Fiberight to build a new waste management plant in Hampden, which caused Penobscot Energy Recovery Company to submit an appeal that challenged the approved permits.

The Municipal Review Committee ended up voting unanimously to release up to $1.62 million from the tip fee stabilization fund to begin construction on the facility and on Wednesday, Fiberight officially broke ground.

Construction is expected to continue through January 2017 and resume again in April 2017, provided that the additional $3.48 million needed for the construction of the facility is released.
