Site of Landfill Proposal

The proposed landfill site is at the end of Sweet Road in Argyle, NY

The dump has been proposed for the end of Sweet Road in Argyle on a parcel of land of over 100 acres. This land is currently leased as an active dairy farm and is surrounded by over 20 residences and farmland. (see map below)

This project would affect everyone in Argyle and the surrounding towns as waste is trucked on the routes through Easton, Greenwich, Cambridge, Schuylerville, Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward, South Glens Falls, Glens Falls, Granville, Lake George and other surrounding towns.

Sweet Rd is a residential area. The school bus comes by every morning and afternoon to pick up the children who live on this quiet dirt road. Currently part of the land that the developer wants to buy is being used as an active dairy farm. The milk truck comes by almost everyday to pick up the milk produced at the farm. The land is at an elevation that would make the landfill visible to many surrounding homes on West Road, Pleasant Valley Road and Route 40 and 197 coming into Argyle. The Moseskill stream runs through the parcel and there are numerous swampy areas along the road and on the parcel. The Moseskill is a tributary of the Hudson River.

- The Moseskill, which runs through the parcel is in a "Zone A" Floodplain (high-risk area)
