BILL NUMBER: S7153
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
covering putrescible and non-putrescible waste transported by rail
PURPOSE :
This bill is designed to ensure that waste that is transferred by rail
in New York State is properly contained in order to prevent leakage
and spillage along the tracks.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
This bill amends subdivision 2 of section 27-0712 of the environmental
conservation law, as added by chapter 402 of the laws of 1989.

waste transport via rail, there is a crucial need to protect the
residential communities adjacent to the tracks. Often, waste is either
completely or partially uncovered, emits odors, and leaks or spills on
the tracks. This poses not only a health concern for residents, but
has larger environmental consequences as well.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has the
ability to permit and regulate waste transfer stations in the state of
