Of dire concern at this this time is Hyland's application to the DEC to allow a sizable increase in the tonnage accepted.  The deadline for comments has been extended 2x since May and is now July 21, 2013.  Please share this with your mailing list, etc.  Participation during this comment period in the form of comments to the DEC and educating others on the matter is strongly requested. We also need you to request the DEC to hold a Public Hearing.
Many thanks, 
Meg Krywe
