LISBON — The Conservation Commission recently raised questions about possible contamination of municipal wells in case of a liner break at a proposed landfill in Dalton.
Casella Waste Management of Rutland, Vt., which owns and operates a landfill in Bethlehem, says that landfill is running out of room, so it wants to build a new one in nearby Dalton.
