  • US and State of Texas V. Allied Waste Industries, Inc
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and Civil Action STATE OF TEXAS, No.: 497-CV 564 E Plaintiffs, v. ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC. ' Defendant. COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT The United States, pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act ("APPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING On July 14, 1997, the United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint alleging that the proposed acquisition by Allied Waste Industries, Inc. ("Allied") of the Crow Landfill in Tarrant County, Texas from USA Waste Industries, Inc. ("USA Waste") would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18. An Amended Complaint was filed on July 29, 1997. The Complaint alleges that Allied and USA Waste are two of only four competitors in the greater Tarrant County area that operate commercial landfills for the disposal of municipal solid waste ("MSW") generated in Tarrant County. If 'the acquisition were consummated, there would be only three operators competing to dispose of MSW generated in Tarrant County, and that loss of competition would likely result in consumers paying higher prices for waste disposal and hauling and receiving fewer or lesser quality services. MSW disposal is a service which involves the receiving of waste at landfills from haulers which have collected paper, food, construction material and other solid wastes from homes, businesses and industries, and transported that waste to a landfill.

  • Mead Johnson Announces Renewable-Energy Project
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: CarolAnn Hibbard, (508) 661-2264 [email protected] Mead Johnson Announces Renewable-Energy Project Mead Johnson Nutritionals today announced plans for an innovative project that will use landfill gas for energy at the company's manufacturing facility in Evansville. The gas will be captured at a local landfill, processed for use and transported by dedicated pipeline to Mead Johnson, where it will replace most of the company's use of natural gas. Landfill gas is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic materials in the landfill. Mead Johnson will work with Ameresco and Allied Waste Industries, Inc., to make this important project possible. Ameresco, which will own the system, will be responsible for designing, building, maintaining and operating it. The system will process the landfill gas into a useable fuel and then deliver it to Mead Johnson's facility via a dedicated pipeline. Allied Waste will provide the landfill gas from its Laubscher Meadows Landfill. Construction is expected to begin in June, and the process will be operational by early 2009. The project is the first of its type for Evansville and it utilizes a ""green"" technology that's been proven safe and reliable. ""Bristol-Myers Squibb and Mead Johnson are committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability around the world,"" said Mead Johnson President Steve Golsby. ""The natural gas usage eliminated through this project represents a shift from the use of fossil fuels to energy that comes from a renewable source," he added. "This is another great example of how we can be stewards of the environment and partner with businesses to achieve positive results,"" said Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel.

    CrIY OF MILPITAS November 5, 2009 Janis Moore' Department of Planning, Building & Code Enforcement 200 East Santa Clara Street San Jose, CA 95113 RE: DEIR for the Newby Island Rezoning Pro,ject - PDC07-07l Dear Ms. Moore: The project as defined in the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) is for a Planned Development rezoning with the purpose to allow the maximum height of the active portion of the landfill to be raised to 245 feet, adding approximately 15,12 million cubic yards to the capacity of the landflll. The new zoning would also allow changes to the uses and operations at tlle landfill and Recyclery, These changes include allowing the composting areas to be located,'" anywhere on the landfill site, allowing the processing offood waste at the Recycleo/, imposing a limit on the total number of inbound material-carrying vehicles to 1,546 vehicles per day for both the landfill and the Recycle!)', and allowing a future solid waste transfer station at fue Recyclery, The current permits that regulate the operations of the landfill and Recycle!)' restrict the areas for composting, prohibit processing offood waste at the Recyclery,and limit transfer station activities to recyclable materials, Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, an EIR should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision makers with infonnation that enables them to make a decision, which intelligently takes account of environmental consequences. The Newby Island Rezoning Project DEIR failed to sufficiently analyze the significant odor impacts the project would have on the Milpitas community, The odor impacts discussed in the DEIR are identified as less than significant with no mitigation required, Yet the project's Odor Assessment (Appendix C of the DEIR) concluded that ilie project would increase the possibility of odors being transported off site and that mitigation measures are needed.
