Scarsdale and EPA near deal on incinerator reform
The EPA extends Scarsdale’s deadline to July 13 to choose an alternative to the Secor Road incinerator. A county transfer station option may satisfy the order, with three sites near Saxon Woods Park to serve Scarsdale Harrison and White Plains. Costs run 20 to 24 dollars per ton, vs 15 for burning and 20 for dumped waste. If the county plan proves costly, Scarsdale could opt for another path. August threatens closure if no agreement.
