Seneca Meadows has submitted a revised draft environmental report to New York state officials as it seeks approval to expand its landfill, according to the Finger Lakes Times. The updated proposal, submitted May 28, is now under review to determine if it’s ready for public comment.
The landfill, located in Seneca Falls, is nearing its permitted capacity, which ends December 31, 2025. The new plan calls for raising the landfill by 47 feet in the Tantalo area—an expansion that would extend operations through 2040.
A local law aimed to shut down the facility by 2025, but it was later upheld after being challenged in court. If approved, the landfill could continue beyond that deadline.
