The Marcellus Village Board approved two bond resolutions, one for $466,250 and another for $85,000, at its meeting held Jan. 24 to finance the overhaul of the village’s wastewater treatment plant, located on North Street. The village intends to build a composting facility that will allow wastewater sludge to be turned into Class A compost. Due to the large sum of money involved, the bond resolutions can be forced to a referendum vote by a petition of residents. The building of the facility is estimated at $750,000, half of which would be covered by a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation waste reduction/recycling grant. The village board also authorized Mayor John Curtin to sign the application for the grant. “It is a costly investment, but down the road it certainly is going to save taxpayers money, and help save the environment,” Curtin said. Village of Marcellus operators Greg Crysler and Ryan Riefler initiated plans for the project due to concerns over the future of the wastewater treatment plant, as options for dumping sludge are running out. The village currently has its sludge hauled to Seneca Meadows Landfill. “I live 30 miles away from Seneca Meadows Landfill and it is now affecting the horizon,” said Jim Bower, New See Compost, page 13
