A developer has sent document indicating plans for an incinerator to process hazardous industrial waste in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, a report from the Scranton Times-Tribune says. Officials say that discussions for the project are in the early stages and it’s all speculation at this time.
According to the Times-Tribune, an April 26 report states the construction on an industrial park and incinerator could being in 2018, but the project needs state and local approval.
The county had called for industrial counties to consider its area as a possibility for business, and a group of developers called Tyler Industrial Park expressed interest. Another unspecified group of investors is considering whether the location, in New Milford Township, Pennsylvania, is appropriate for a waste incinerator.
The incinerator would dispose of hazardous material not fit for a landfill, like paint or cleaning products, the report says. It would not process drilling mud from natural gas operations.
