A proposed waste landfill in Mercer County that initially received approval from the state is now being denied a permit.
Tri-County Industries proposed reopening a municipal waste landfill on 99 acres in both Liberty and Pine Townships in Mercer County. The plan was approved by the Department of Environmental Protection, but was overturned by the Commonwealth Court.
The landfill was previously used from 1950 to 1990.
State Representative Tim Bonner says he was pleased with the decision and will continue efforts to pass legislation that will prohibit any landfill to operate within three miles of any densely populated community.
