The Town has secured a RIDEM grant of $150,000 to hire an environmental consultant to investigate the site to determine how to permanently and safely remediate, cap and close the landfill. The grant also will fund a legal investigation to try and secure Potentially Responsible Parties (PRP’s) to help share the remediating, capping and closure costs. For more information, Click here.
