Who Wants Beneficial Use in Maine?
The Beneficial Use Advisory Group is a committee of invested
stakeholders that include representatives from:
Industry
Construction
Manufacturing
Legal
Consulting
University
State Agencies
The group is tasked with reviewing issues related to
beneficial use with the overall goal of increasing beneficial use of
secondary materials in Maine. The group is trying to remove barriers
that currently exist for beneficial use in Maine through:
Promotion and outreach
Review of Chapter 418 of the DEP's Maine Solid Waste Management Rules
Legislative efforts to reduce barriers
Research projects by the University of Maine Civil Engineering Department
This website is a result of a UMaine project to create a Beneficial Use Center
which contains environmental and engineering data on industrial waste
materials with the potential for beneficial use.
