Upper Valley waste management company pleads guilty to falsifying reports
An Orange-based waste management company has pleaded guilty to falsifying annual facility reports and will pay a total of $100,000 in fines, state officials announced.
Hammond Grinding and Recycling, which specializes in construction and demolition debris, was charged earlier this year with exceeding the limits on unprocessed waste it was permitted to stockpile at the facility.
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services said that the violations pertained to annual reports submitted to the department for the years 2021 and 2022. The Hammond facility was not designed to handle the amount of unprocessed waste on-site, and exceeding the permitted capacity presented an environmental hazard and fire danger, the NH Attorney General’s office said in a news release.
Hammond President Tamra Hammond and vice president Fred Hammond also each pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense for their roles in submitting falsified documents. Each were fined $1,000, which is suspended for two years on condition of good behavior and compliance with environmental regulations.
