In a historic decision that ends a 20-year process, a state board has rejected a plan to build a new hazardous waste landfill in Niagara County.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hazardous Waste Landfill Siting Board denied a certification for CWM Chemical Service’s proposal to build a 43.5-acre landfill in the Town of Porter.
The decision by the eight-member panel was unanimous.
