New York Landfill Accepting Pa. Drill Cuttings Plans Expansion
Last summer MDN brought you the news that the Sierra Club lost a lawsuit aimed at blocking a landfill in New York State from accepting oil and gas drill cuttings from Pennsylvania (see Sierra Club Loses Court Case to Block Drill Cuttings in NY Landfill). The C&D Hakes Landfill in Painted Post, NY (near Elmira, located in Steuben County) continues to accept PA drill cuttings, although we're not sure if those cuttings come from Marcellus drillers. At any rate, Hakes has filed a request to expand the landfill by another 43 acres (to 122 acres), to continue accepting PA drill cuttings for an extra 8-10 years.
