§ 27-1911. Prohibition on land burial.
Terms Used In N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 27-1911
- Beneficial use: means the use of solid waste material, which would otherwise need to be placed in a landfill or disposed of through alternative means, in such a manner that the nature of the use of the material constitutes a reuse rather than disposal. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 27-1901
1. No person shall knowingly dispose of waste tires in a landfill except as provided in subdivision two of this section.
2. No moneys from the waste management and cleanup fund shall be used to dispose of waste tires in a landfill unless the department has determined that it is not feasible to convert the waste tires to a beneficial use. Department-approved beneficial uses of scrap-tire-derived material for leachate collection systems, or gas collection systems in the construction or operation of a landfill are not considered disposal.
