William J. Kemble reports in The Daily Freeman that leaders of the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency warned that the trash authority the group is currently forming with Greene and Sullivan counties, does not have a disposal plan in place. The agency is set to tour a Dutchess County burn plant Aug. 22, but agency officials don't know if forming a multi-county trash authority would prevent the use of that facility. “If GUS (Green-Ulster-Sullivan) were to happen and if this burn plant option was viable, would GUS then help that situation or hurt that situation?” Board member Brian Devine said. Resource Recovery Agency Executive Director Tim Rose said the three counties would produce too much solid waste for the burn plant, and Ulster County alone would not have enough waste to use the plant. Ulster has 100,000 tons of waste per year for a burn facility and with Greene and Sullivan counties it would be about 240,000 tons. The Ulster County agency currently uses the Seneca Meadows landfill in central New York, which is expected to close in six years. Read the full story in The Daily Freeman.
