The Geneva Town Board has joined other local boards in the City of Geneva and Town of Seneca Falls opposing expansions at Seneca Meadows Landfill.
Supervisor Mark Venuti said the Town Board unanimously passed a resolution at its meeting last week.
Seneca Meadows Landfill applied to expand its landfill over the summer. That application was not publicly known until December.
The DEC has issued questions for Seneca Meadows to address before they will consider or process the application further. To date, the answers have not been provided.
Officials: No blowouts, just normal slope filling at Seneca Meadows Landfill

Ossenfort said he intends to run for re-election in November on the Republican and Conservative Party lines.
“Even in a time of great challenges, we’ve been able to chart a solid financial path for Montgomery County and stay under the tax cap for seven straight years,” Ossenfort stated in his “Victory 2021” campaign announcement. “We’ve secured and pushed forward numerous transformational economic development initiatives such as the redevelopment of the former Beech-Nut site. Our work is never done and I’m excited to continue the many exciting initiatives underway while also laying out our vision for the next four years.”
BINGHAMTON, NY (WSKG) New York U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are calling on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate potential environmental risks associated with a proposed waste management facility in Schuyler County.
The facility would sit south of Seneca Lake in the town of Cayuta. According to Bob Mente, the owner of Alternative Waste Services in Newfield, which would operate the facility, it would bring in construction debris and municipal solid waste for recycling.
In October, the Schuyler County Legislature passed a resolution opposing a permit for the facility. Members of the legislature asked the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to conduct a “full, fair and exhaustive” environmental review of the facility before approving the application.
