Stop Dumping on Orange County! No garbage station near the Heritage Trail!

To All Decision Makers: John Razzano, Amanda Lefton. Kathy Hochul, James Skoufis

Once again Orange County is being sacrificed for the needs of New York City. Just as NYC's commercial waste overhaul takes effect, the NYS DEC has issued a permit for the Marangi waste station — run by the same family whose hauling companies were just purchased by Interstate Waste, the New Jersey conglomerate holding the largest share of NYC's commercial waste contracts — planned right beside the Heritage Trail. 248 garbage trucks a day. 950 tons of garbage and construction debris-waste that routinely contains lead paint, asbestos, treated wood, and silica dust. No restriction anywhere in the permit on where the waste comes from. Operations starting as early as 4 a.m. And this dump joins a corridor of industrial warehouses totaling millions of square feet — more than 2,000 truck trips a day, by the Town's own admission. What stands to be lost: the wetlands and wildlife surrounding the Heritage Trail, the air and water our families and farms depend on, and the State-designated Disadvantaged Communities that the law is supposed to protect — unequivocally. It began with CPV. It will not end until Orange County residents say: enough is enough. Please sign and share this petition.

We, the undersigned residents of Orange County, urge you to deny all remaining local and state approvals for the Dom-Mar (“Marangi”) garbage transfer station whose hauling company is now owned by Interstate Waste, on Dolsontown Road and to stand with the community — not the permit — The State has issued a permit, without holding a local public hearing and the Wawayanda Town Board issued the waiver allowing the garbage trucks to start rolling in at 4am. The NYSDEC accepted it! Children need to sleep! We also pledge to boycott Interstate Waste and Marangi if they build this project!!
