Lawmakers in New York State have introduced bills that would prohibit developers from building garbage incinerators in the Finger Lakes Watershed.
Circular enerG is proposing to build a $365 million waste-to-energy (WTE) facility in Romulus, N.Y., between lakes Seneca and Cayuga. The facility would burn up to 2,640 tons of waste per day and draw 445,000 gallons of water a day from Seneca Lake.
