State OKs change at CWM allowing more waste to be landfilled
State environmental regulators have approved a proposal for a thinner cap on CWM Chemical Services' landfill in Porter.
The move allows the hazardous waste facility to accept more waste without increasing the landfill's height or acreage.
CWM has requested permission from the state to expand by building another landfill, a move that can't be granted until a plan to guide disposal of hazardous waste statewide is completed.
