Rustick Expansion Approved
The Department of Environmental Protection has approved two permit applications submitted by Rustick LLC that will allow the expansion of McKean County Landfill.
DEP approved a permit modification to expand the existing disposal area by an additional 204 acres, and to increase the overall permit area from 128 acres to 336 acres. The new disposal area will be across the road from the current disposal area and landfill office.
The permit modification also increases the average daily volume limit to 6,000 tons per day, while the previous rate was 1,500 tons per day. The amount of waste arriving daily at the landfill by truck would continue to be limited to 1,000 tons.
The additional waste volume would arrive by rail, because DEP also approved Rustick’s application for a railroad transfer station to receive municipal waste coming to the facility on rail cars. That waste will be transported in stretch-wrap covered bales or in sealed or enclosed containers.
