In the first hour, hear the second of two presentations by Mark Schwartz of Wheelabrator Technologies, from January 16, 2019, from 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. In the second hour, Jack Sencabaugh talks with Bob Knighton, president of the Greene Land Trust, about the history and ongoing restoration of the Willows, an 18th-century farmhouse in the town of Athens. Listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places, the Trust acquired the house in October 2009 and uses the house to support environmental education on the surrounding land owned by the Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and at the nearby Cohotate Preserve.
