Landfill Permitting Under The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act 

by Luann Meyer, Barton & Loguidice

Abstract

The Climate Leadership Community Protection Act was passed by the Legislature in 2021, which required multiple steps to be made in order to show how the goals of CLCPA would be met. Our presentation will discuss the process to date, including the Draft Scoping Plan, industry comments on the Draft Scoping Plan, the Final Scoping Plan, and how this all relates to permitting a solid waste facility in NYS. We will discuss a case study - Steuben County's Bath Landfill Expansion and how CLCPA was incorporated into the permitting process and how we ultimately received the permit from the DEC.

Attendees will be able to list components of the CLCPA that will impact solid waste facilities; attendees will be aware of the components in the Scoping Plans (draft and final) that impact the solid waste industry; and attendees will be able to identify potential mitigation measures for permitting.

CLCPA will likely be a standard component that requires addressing in most permit applications with the DEC. Having a knowledge of the Act and the potential requirements will be imperative to successfully obtaining the requested permit.

In-Plant Recycling and Reclaim of Extruded/Molded Plastic Scrap for Improved Sustainability

by Dana Darley, Business Development, Vecoplan, LLC, Archdale, NC

Abstract

Producers of extruded/molded products have three main options when dealing with their own internal scrap. 1) reuse it, 2) sell it, or 3) dispose of it. For all three, some type of re- processing is usually beneficial.

This presentation will review the logistics, economics, and processing technologies typically used for extruded/molded products, with the main focus on the in-house recovery of scrap that is then fed back into the raw material stream.
