SEATTLE (Waste 360): Aimed at blocking construction of a proposed trash incinerator in Romulus, N.Y., the New York State Assembly just passed a bill preventing the construction of new trash incinerators in the region.
According to the Ithaca Voice, the bill would prohibit the state from issuing permits for a trash incinerator in the Oswego/Finger Lakes Watershed, if there is a landfill within a 50-mile radius of the proposed incinerator and if it would be located within 10 miles of a priority watershed designated by the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The New York State Assembly passed a bill Thursday that prevents the construction of new trash incinerators in the region and is aimed at blocking construction of a proposed controversial incinerator at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus.
Specifically, the bill — co-sponsored by Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton (D/WF-125) — would prohibit the state from issuing permits for a trash incinerator in the Oswego/Finger Lakes Watershed, if there is a landfill within a 50-mile radius of the proposed incinerator and if it would be located within 10 miles of a priority watershed designated by the Department of Environmental Conservation. There are identical bills in the Assembly (A5029) and Senate (S2270).
In a news release Thursday, Lifton said she worked closely with Assemblymember Michael Cusick (D-Staten Island), chair of the Assembly Energy Committee, to draft the bill, and the Assembly worked with the Senate companion bill.
