Wait, I thought composting was good for the environment? Apparently not since Intervale Center could be fined for not filing for a permit.

Ah hah. That's it. It's land use. Not environmental protection. And what better way to collect revenue under the guise of protecting the environment even if it means fining a company that is reducing landfill waste. You know dumps. Those things that pollute ground water?
What an ass backwards state we live in.
It mentions archaelogical studies to obtain a permit. I wonder if someone dropped a fake arrowhead there like happened somewhere else nearby several years ago. Which led to the agonizing and costly (revenue source) process for developers.
