Public Informational Briefing

DEQ invites you to attend an informational briefing on Wednesday, October 15 from 6-8 p.m. at Cumberland County High School to discuss the environmental permitting process on the proposed Green Ridge Landfill. DEQ has received and is processing environmental permit applications for both a solid waste permit, as well as a Minor New Source Review air permit for the proposed facility. If approved, these permits would allow Green Ridge LLC to construct and operate the Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility in Cumberland County. These permits will be required prior to the beginning of construction of the proposed landfill.

DEQ has scheduled this public information briefing to provide more details about the site and the permit applications, including the public input opportunities throughout the processes. Please note that this is a public briefing to share information and is not an official comment period for the permits under development. The required public comment periods will occur later in the process when DEQ has developed draft permit decisions.

Please note, this meeting is a Department of Environmental Quality Meeting and not a meeting organized by Cumberland County.
