Andrea Macko reports for Porcupine Soup that next month the Cairo Town Board might allow a solar farm on the 30 acres at the former Joel M. Austin Road landfill. Two companies, 42 Renewables of Westchester County and SOL Source Power, LLC of Troy, want to put solar farms there. The proposal from 42 Renewables is for to create four megawatts of power, and SOL would create six. Because the landfill was closed in the 1970s before current regulations, it was not capped to today's standards. In January, New York's Department of Environmental Conservation said that the agency, “is supportive of solar projects located at closed solid waste landfills, which align with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act mandate of 6 gigawatts of photovoltaic solar generation by 2025.” Town Supervisor Jason Watts said, “We are going to look at both of your proposals.” Read more about this story for Porcupine Soup.
