Stop Hughes Energy’s Proposed Waste Plant
The Problem
A for-profit company is proposing a 124,500 sq ft industrial waste-to-fuel plant straddling the border of Delaware and Greene counties. The 7-story proposed plant sited on a rural 40-acre parcel in Grand Gorge, NY would truck in and process up to 175,000 tons of municipal waste per year to be turned into fiber and burnable pellets through an unproven autoclave steam process.
This watershed-threatening facility would add significant traffic, noise, air pollution and water infrastructure burdens to our communities and fragile ecosystems by importing unregulated waste from a 50-mile radius.
This would be the first-ever plant of its kind and scale in the United States.
As a community we refuse to be the testing ground.
