Peckenham quoted in BDN story about quarry landfills
John Peckenham, a Mitchell Center research associate, was quoted in a recent Bangor Daily News article on some of the issues associated with landfills established in old quarries, including two current ones in Rockland and Rockport.
Peckenham has worked for decades on wastewater and water pollution in Maine and has direct experience with contamination of groundwater from biosolids. He is the former director of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Maine Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI), which is headquartered at the Mitchell Center.
