The Toxics Action Center and Conservation Law Foundation are suing Casella Waste Systems over alleged water pollution from its Bethlehem Landfill in New Hampshire. The nonprofits are claiming that state water testing data reveals that the landfill has been illegally discharging pollutants like heavy metals and leachate into the Ammonoosuc River for about five years.
