BOSTON (Legal Newsline) – Southbridge Recycling and Disposal Park landfill will pay approximately $220,000 in civil penalties over allegations that it damaged nearby wetlands, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley announced on Wednesday.

The landfill allegedly failed to maintain a stockpile, which generated a landslide in August 2013 that covered more than a half-acre near a stream in Charlton with mud and silt.
