On November 23, 2020 the Coeymans Town Board unanimously passed amendments to the Town’s Clean Air Law four days after only one public hearing. These amendments strip the strong pollution protections in the law and pave the way for any business to burn massive amounts of tires and waste.
As a result, the Town of Coeymans is now the only town within the County of Albany where hazardous waste and tires can be burned in spite of the Albany County Clean Air Law. Since the amendments to the Coeymans Clean Air law went into effect immediately, Lafarge/Holcim can now add the burning of tires to the coal it is already burning in the town.
Among the issues to be discussed in this Community Forum, moderated by WOOC 105.3 FM correspondent Corinne Carey, are:
- The Albany County Clean Air Law, Amendments to the Coeymans Clean Air Law, and the Permissive Referendum
- Health threats of burning tires and waste for fuel vs. coal in cement kiln incinerators
- Why the DEC and EPA does not protect us, using the Norlite hazardous waste incinerator in Cohoes as an example.
