In the first hour, Susan Kukle of Mountain Top Progressives will be joined by Lee McGunnigle, Mayor of Tannersville, to talk about the Earth Day Festival taking place on Sun., Apr. 28 at Rip Van Winkle Lake in Tannersville. In the second hour, hear the first of two presentations by Mark Schwartz of Wheelabrator Technologies, from May, 2017, one of the country's largest incineration companies. The company intends to build a large incinerator ash dump in a former quarry in Catskill, near the Hudson River. The company is now in the process of applying for permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Under Wheelabrator's proposal, 445,000 tons of ash, potentially containing high levels of heavy metals and dioxins, would be transported on local roads, including U.S. Route 9W.
