The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has issued a notice of non-compliance to a construction and demolition debris landfill in Bourne, Mass., for failure to control odor, according to a report in the Upper Cape Codder (Sandwich, Mass.).
The odor is caused by escaping hydrogen-sulfide gas produced by the breaking down of buried C&D debris, according to the report.
According to the Upper Cape Codder, the landfill no longer buries new C&D material. The debris is sorted at the facility and shipped for disposal off Cape Cod.
A plan for a new C&D transfer station near the Bourne site will come before town voters in May, according to the report.
If the transfer station is not approved, the Bourne landfill will stop collecting C&D material.
