S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5029 2019-2020 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 6, 2019 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CUSICK, LIFTON, PALMESANO, KOLB, WOERNER, LUPAR- DO, THIELE, GLICK, FINCH -- read once and referred to the Committee on Energy AN ACT in relation to creating the "Finger Lakes community act of 2019" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. It is the intent of this Legislature to protect the Finger Lakes region from the adverse effects of the siting of newly constructed incineration facilities, including but not limited to: air and ash pollution, the additional traffic on the public roads and damage to local tourism, winery and agriculture industries as well as the lakes and farmland throughout the area. In an area where three of the largest landfills in New York State are located, over three million tons of trash per year are imported into the Finger Lakes and the cumu- lative impact of adding more imported waste for incineration would have an extremely negative effect on the public health and safety of the community, the local businesses and the lakes. The Finger Lakes region is a thriving agriculture-tourism region in the state serving as an economic engine with over one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) of investment in the region and has created over 25,000 jobs. The Legislature hereby determines that the public interest requires a prohibition on the siting of newly constructed incineration facilities in the Finger Lakes region. § 2. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Finger Lakes community preservation act of 2019". § 3. Definitions. For the purposes of this act, the following terms shall have the following meanings: a. "Incineration facility" shall mean a facility which generates elec- tricity from the combustion, gasification or pyrolysis of solid waste or from fuel from solid waste, provided that such term shall not include EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
