The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has issued a solid waste management permit to allow Valley Waste Services to build a municipal waste transfer facility at the site of a former steel mill in Chippewa Township, Pa.
Valley Waste Services, a subsidiary of Vogel Holdings Inc, will operate the transfer facility. The facility will receive, consolidate and transfer up to 1,200 tons each day of municipal, residual, construction and demolition wastes and recyclable materials.
The company may also salvage materials under this permit.
Valley Waste made several revisions to its plans in order to address concerns expressed by DEP and the public.
The transfer facility will encompass 36 acres of property that formerly housed the Babcock & Wilcox Wallace Run Steel Mill. The company will operate out of the sole remaining building on the 62-acre property. DEP issued a general permit to Valley Waste Services in 2009 that enabled it to make several minor modifications to the building.
