Draft Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Plan and Supporting DGEIS
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (Department), pursuant to Chapter 618 of the New York Laws of 1987 and Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) 27-1102, has prepared the draft Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Plan (Siting Plan) and a supporting draft generic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The Siting Plan is to be used as guidance by any hazardous waste facility siting board reviewing proposals for siting certain new or expanded hazardous waste management facilities and for Department and other State government agencies to use to assure the availability of sufficient hazardous waste facility capacity.
Legislative public hearings to receive comments from the public will be held in nine locations across the state. Notice of these locations and times are posted on our website.
All persons, organizations, corporations or government agencies, etc., which may be affected by the proposed Siting Plan are invited to attend the hearings and to submit either written or oral statements, or to mail comments in to the Department. Written statements received prior to the close of the public comment period and oral statements made at each hearing session will be given equal weight. It is recommended that lengthy statements be submitted in writing.
Written statements may be filed until close of business, November 26, 2008, with Mr. John Iannotti, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Solid & Hazardous Materials, 625 Broadway, Albany, New York 12233-7250, faxed to: (518) 402-9024, or e-mailed to hwsiting@gw.dec.state.ny.us
