(2)Includes a non-cash charge in fiscal year 2024 associated with the receipt of the Closure Permit from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection related to the Southbridge Landfill. Pursuant to the terms of the Closure Permit, we are 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. We revised the accrued post-closure liability for the Southbridge Landfill to reflect the estimated cost of satisfying the expanded Conditions as currently specified in the Closure Permit. See Note 10, Final Capping, Closure and Post-Closure Costs for disclosure regarding our landfill final capping, closure and post-closure costs.
