Seneca Meadows landfill must respond to 66 new questions from state regulators before its expansion can move forward, according to the Finger Lakes Times.
The Department of Environmental Conservation flagged major gaps in the landfill’s environmental review, including missing data on methane emissions, odor complaints, and impacts to drinking water and nearby hazardous sites. The agency also wants clearer documentation on leachate handling, air quality, and safety plans.
The landfill’s parent company, Waste Connections, must revise and resubmit key sections. A public comment period will follow if the DEC deems the application complete.
