01 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events. On August 15, 2024, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ("MADEP") issued a letter to Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (the "Company") notifying the Company that it has completed its technical review of the Company's landfill closure completion application on behalf of the Company's subsidiary, Southbridge Recycling & Disposal Park, Inc., relative to the Subtitle D landfill in the Town of Southbridge (the "Southbridge Landfill"). MADEP determined that the application is technically complete and by that letter it issued the final closure permit (the "Permit") to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Permit, the Company is required to meet certain general permit conditions and certain specific permit conditions (collectively, the "Conditions"), including environmental monitoring, third party inspections, inspection of the final cover, leachate sampling, post-closure monitoring, and other post-closure requirements. The Company expects to record a charge of approximately $9.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 to revise the accrued post-closure liability for the Southbridge Landfill to reflect the estimated cost of satisfying the expanded Conditions as currently specified in the Permit. The Company expects to exclude this charge in its calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income consistent with its historical treatment of expenses related to the closure of the Southbridge Landfill. In the event that the Conditions are modified, the Company could be required to take additional charges.
