S 6529 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits waste transfer stations from being located near public housing projects

This bill prohibits the issuance of permits for marine solid waste transfer stations within 800 feet of public housing projects in cities with populations over one million. It directly affects waste facility operators seeking to locate or expand operations near public housing and protects residents in those housing projects from potential environmental impacts. The law creates a strict buffer zone by blocking state and local approvals for such facilities in the specified proximity, overriding conflicting local laws or regulations. It applies only to marine waste transfer stations in large urban areas, not to other waste facilities or smaller communities.
