Landfill: what's the deal with this deal?

I'm trying to make heads or tails out of the situation in which asphalt grindings are being allowed by the city's health department into the landfill on Crow Lane, starting Monday.

Following questions from concerned parties in the city, John Carrigan, Chief of the DEP's Solid Waste Management Section, sent to Ron Klodenski a fact sheet from the DEP's website.

It's about as clear as mud, but it seems as if asphalt grindings (which contain hydrocarbons and/or petroleum) are not allowed by DEP at a solid waste facility except on a temporary basis.

Asphalt pavement, brick and concrete are banned from disposal at solid waste facilities and cannot be disposed at landfills, incinerators or taken to transfer stations for subsequent transfer to a solid waste disposal facility unless conditions for an exception are met. (See 310 CMR 19.017)

310 CMR 19.017 says that:

(6) Exceptions. The Department may allow a facility or person to temporarily dispose or temporarily contract for the disposal of restricted materials, with prior notification and approval of the Department, under the following circumstances:

(a) the material is contaminated or is otherwise not acceptable for recycling or composting provided that the person who contaminated or rendered the material unfit for recycling or composting is notified and takes any action necessary to prevent a recurrence of the conditions which contaminated or rendered the material unfit; or
(b) the recycling or composting operation or end user to which the restricted material is normally sent declines to accept the material or is prohibited from accepting the material as a result of an administrative or judicial order, provided that an alternative recycling or composting operation or storage facility which will accept the material cannot be found within a reasonable time.

Devens, Mass., has a solid waste recycling facility:

We accept: Aggregate, Asphalt, Brick, Carpet, Ceiling Tiles, Concrete, Gypsum, Metal, Paper, Rubber, Shingles and Wood.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has established the waste ban regulations so that the materials listed above are now prohibited from landfill disposal.

The state apparently does not want to deal with the grindings in an appropriate manner. According to this report, the asphalt paving industry has an 80% recycling rate (per the president of the National Asphalt Pavement Association).

So DEP helps get rid of asphalt grindings and New Ventures (landfill owner) possibly makes more money by disposing of the material for the place that generated it (and who does road works, you might ask).

We already have gypsum (and who knows what else) and now we're getting asphalt. For cash considerations and what else?
