How will the proposed NYS DEC Part 360 Regulations effect you?

If you are the owner or customer of Transfer Stations or C&D Facilities in the state of New York, you will be greatly impacted by the new DEC Part 360 Regulations. It has been two decades (24 years) since NYS DEC last made revisions to this rule but with the increased environmental impacts, Governor Cuomo is looking to make significant changes.dumptruck_1

  • C&D Facilities will now have to perform all their receiving, processing and sorting of mixed C&D Debris within an enclosed building.
  • All Transfer Stations currently registered to process over 250 tons/ day of material will now need to obtain a NY State Permit.
  • Any facility that handles Municipal Solid Waste will need to install fixed Radiation Detectors
  • There will be a limit to the pile height of a maximum of 20 ft. (limiting input and output)
  • Work will not be able to be performed any closer than 50 ft. from the perimeter of the property meaning there will be a 66% loss of size.
  • The DEC is accepting Public Comments regarding the rule and how it may affect you until July 15th, 2016.
