| | 4. | NEW C&D LANDFILL SEEKING APPROVAL IN NEW ORLEANS |
| | | Just a month after lawsuits forced the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality to reduce its Katrina-related dumping at a landfill in New Orleans, the agency is pushing through the permitting process for a new C&D landfill adjacent to the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. Owners of the 88-acre property, which abuts a long-closed landfill, have said it is an ideal spot for disposal, but
twice in the past 10 years the city has rejected plans to turn the site into a C&D landfill. This time, however, Waste Management-which would operate the facility-apparently has the approval of state, city, and possibly federal officials. |

| | 5. | PENNSYLVANIA, PENN STATE ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR NEW SCRAP TIRE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
| | | The state of Pennsylvania has announced plans to invest $700,000 in a scrap tire reuse project that could handle 500,000 tires. Penn State University will use the baled tires as fill material to rebuild roads in rural communities. A pilot project will take place this
summer. The state is financing the work through the Starr Waste Tire Reuse Grant Program, and the Penn State project is one of several that will address the cleanup of the Starr Tire pile in Greenwood Township, which contains roughly 6 million scrap tires.
