The Department of Environmental Conservation recently finalized regulations that would restrict "open burning" in New York State. These new regulations go into effect on October 14. The final regulation addresses a number of the concerns raised by New York Farm Bureau in the Department's earlier proposal. While this proposal allows the burning of many agricultural waste components for disposal, it would still prohibit the burning of plastic in the state. Funding from New York State Environmental Protection Fund has been provided to offset the costs of an agricultural plastics recycling program – click here for more information on this program. |
