Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 631 of the laws of 1947, relating to the development by the Port of New York Authority of marine terminals, in relation to prohibiting transloading of certain waste at facilities in Richmond county
Purpose
Relates to prohibiting the transloading of certain wastes at facilities in Richmond county.
Summary of specific provisions
Prohibits the Port Authority of New York and any of its affiliated or subsidiary corporations from engaging in the transloading of municipal solid wastes, toxic wastes or hazardous wastes at any facility in Richmond county, unless such wastes originate in Richmond county.
Justification
An initiative to prevent Howland Hook, or any other site in Staten Island, from becoming a transfer facility for the entire City's daily output of garbage. Staten Island will accept responsibility for handling and transporting the trash it generates locally, and would like for the other four boroughs to do the same, without using the ports in Staten Island as a transloading station.
