Londonderry Corporation Pleads Guilty to Four Felonies

A Londonderry-based contracting corporation pleaded guilty to four felonies today for transporting solid waste without a permit, according to New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney.

Thibeault Corporation of New England, which is based at 603 Old Mammoth Road, was transporting the solid waste and storing it in New Hampshire at non-permitted facilities in Londonderry and Allenstown. 

According to Delaney, The Merrimack Superior Court ordered the company to pay fines totaling $50,000 by January 7, 2013.

An additional $50,000 in fines was suspended pending good behavior.

A release from Delaney outlined the state law:

It is unlawful to transport solid waste in New Hampshire without a permit authorized by the Department of Environmental Services (“NHDES”), or to store or dispose of solid waste at a facility other than a permitted solid waste facility. 

According to NHDES Commmissioner Thomas Burack, the solid waste requirements were put in place for the "safety of all of us and our environment."

The investigation was coordinated by the Attorney General's Office, NHDES, the federal Environmental Protection Agency/Criminal Investigation Division, the Allenstown Police Department and Londonderry Police Department.
