Attachment to Resolution No. 1 of 1989
State Environmental Quality Review
FINDINGS STATEMENT
January 4, 1989
Pursuant to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act-SEQR) of the Environmental
Conservation Law, 6 NYCRR Part 617 and Resolution No. 1, of County of Tompkins Board of
Representatives dated January 4, 1989 authorizing the making of and filing of Findings, the County of
Tompkins as Lead Agency makes the following findings.
Name of Action: County of Tompkins Sanitary Landfill.
Description of Action: The proposed project includes construction and operation of a new sanitary
landfill for up to twenty (20) years to receive baled municipal refuse, other non -baled solid wastes as
described in Part 360 Regulations for disposal, and construction and demolition debris generated within
Tompkins County and the Town of Spencer, Tioga County.
Project Location: The proposed landfill will be located at Site DR -7, in the Town of Dryden, Tompkins
County, New York. The site is bounded on the north by West Dryden Road, to the east by Caswell Road,
and on the west by Wood Road.
Agency Jurisdiction: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the following
permits:
To construct and operate a sanitary landfill
(6 NYCRR Part 360);
Mining permit (6 NYCRR Part 420);
Hauling permit (6 NYCRR Part 364); and
State Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(SPDES) permit (6 NYCRR Part 750).
Date Final EIS Filed: December 23, 1988.
Facts and Conclusions in the EIS Relied upon to Support the Decision:
1. The County of Tompkins has given consideration to the findings in the Final EIS; and
2. The requirements of this part (6 NYCRR 617) have been met; and
3. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations from among the reasonable
alternatives thereto, the action approved is one which minimize or avoids adverse environmental
effects to the maximum extent practicable; including the effects disclosed in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement; and
4. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, to the maximum extent
practicable, adverse environmental effects revealed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement
process will be minimized or avoided by incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigative
measures which were identified as practicable.
5. The following facts and conclusions contained in the Environmental Impact Statement are relied
upon to support the decision of this Board of Representatives to proceed with the project in
10
January 4, 1989
authorizing the filing of an application to construct and operate a sanitary landfill, including social,
economic and other factors and standards which formed the basis thereof:
a. The need for the project
Approximately 80,000 tons of solid waste are generated within Tompkins County annually and this
volume has been increasing annually. The county recently and currently is disposing of its solid waste,
including construction and demolition debris, at the Landstrom Landfill in the Town of Spencer, New
York. That landfill is under a consent order with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)
to close. The existing consent order amendment requires cessation of receipt of solid waste as of
December 31, 1988. The County is negotiating with the DEC t0 extend that date in order to permit,
construct and operate all of the facilities required for its solid waste management project, including the
sanitary landfill at DR -7, the recycling program and the central processing facility, including baling.
There is no other available landfill within the County or other disposal site outside of the County at a
competitive or reasonable cost for disposal. The Tompkins county Solid Waste Management Project and
the New York State Solid Waste Management Plan would under any circumstances require a sanitary
landfill as part of an overall solid waste management project. Such a landfill was to be sited and
constructed within Tompkins County.
b. Recycling
The County has embarked upon an ambitious recycling program which will achieve maximum recycling
under the conditions existing within the County as to the content of the waste stream, the population
density, various modes of collection and other factors. A pilot recycling program has been initiated and a
program to maximize recycling will be instituted by the County. Regardless of the vigorous recycling
program, a landfill will still be required to dispose of that segment of the waste stream which cannot be
recycled.
c. Baling
Most of the solid waste delivered to a sanitary landfill will be baled solid waste. The baling will occur at
a central processing facility located in the City of Ithaca, New York. This will involve central processing
at the baling facility and transportation in baled form to the landfill. The baling and transfer will reduce
volume and will reduce traffic to the landfill site. It will also mitigate escape of fugitive materials while
in transit and eliminate the necessity of compaction at the operating site and the required equipment to
accomplish same, thus reducing noise levels in that regard.
d. Siting of the landfill
Site selection criteria were established after extensive public input into the process, including a public
hearing, to establish a rating and ranking system to preliminarily rank an inventory of 23 sites developed
in the siting study. The inventory was developed after exclusionary criteria were applied to eliminate
sites which would be violative of regulatory requirements. Of the top 16 preliminarily ranked sites, 8
were field tested with backhoe and resistively testing to determine viability for drilling. 4 sites were
further investigated with on site drilling. After a public hearing by the Board of Representatives
regarding the tested sites, DR -7 was selected as the preferred site. This process complies with the
regulations in effect (6 NYCRR Part 360) at the time DR -7 was selected as the preferred site. The
process was rational and reasonable. In addition, the selection of DR -7 as the preferred site, based upon
a preliminary ranking system to determine sites to test, complies with the revised regulations (6 NYCRR
Part 360) which are effective as of December 31, 1988 which requires testing of the top ranked "available
site" or sites. The owners of the sites not tested in the top 16 preliminary ranked sites denied permission
11
January 4, 1989
to the County to test and the sites were not " available" because the County chose not to use its power or
right of entry for testing at that time.
e. Compliance with New York State Solid Waste Management Plan
The New York State Solid Waste Management Plan or Policy (Section 27-0106 of the Environmental
Conservation Law) has four components, and they are:
1) Reduce the amount of solid waste generated;
2) Reuse or recycle solid waste;
3) Recover energy from the solid waste that cannot be reused or recycled; and
4) The part that cannot be reused or recycled or is not subject to energy recovery, be landfilled.
The Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Project including recycling, central transfer and baling,
an landfilling, meets the requirements of the New York State Solid Waste Management Plan. An
adequate analysis has been provided why energy recovery is not appropriate at this time. In addition, the
County has embarked upon a program of converting yard wastes and septic sludge for reuse to reduce the
volume of disposable wastes.
f. Landfill Design
The design of this landfill, including a double composite liner and pore pressure relief zone underlying
the said liner system, meets the requirements of the regulations promulgated and effective December 31,
1988 (6 NYCRR Part 360). Due to the impermeable nature of the soils underlying the site and the
relatively flat terrain, high ground water under the circumstances is to be anticipated. Ground water did
not exclude the site because it was neither significant nor usable in substantial quantities as a major
source of drinking water. The pore pressure relief zone consisting of permeable soils and a drainage
system, including piping, to be constructed to lower the ground water level below the required liner
system would also act as an additional collection and monitoring system should the double composite
liner system fail. This combination provides to the maximum extent practicable the minimizing or
avoiding of any adverse environmental affects revealed in the Environmental Impact Statement.
g. Flooding
Siting criteria within the regulations would exclude the operating landfill and key facilities such as
leachate storage tanks and borrow area if it was located in a 100 years flood plain. Computer modeling,
based upon existing directives, indicate clearly that these facilities are not within the 100 year flood
plain. In addition, the landfill design, including earthen berms around the perimeter would contain any
excess waters accumulating within the operating area and would preclude entry of such flooding surface
waters into the operating area from the adjacent property. The leachate collection system and surface
water drainage system is designed to accommodate waters anticipated to accumulate in a storm of a 100
year magnitude.
h. Impact on Fall Creek
Fall Creek and its tributaries will be protected and all impacts will be mitigated to the maximum extent
practical or the impacts are avoided. The leachate collection system, the double composite liners, the
pore pressure relief zone and the underlying impermeable soils make it unlikely that leachate would ever
reach Fall Creek or its tributaries. Should it escape the leachate collection system, the double composite
liner and the pore pressure relief zone system, it would be detected by the surface water monitoring and
monitoring wells to be established in the permit process, which wells surround the landfill. This would
provide ample time, given the slow migration of water through the impermeable soils, to correct the
12
January 4, 1989
situation. Otherwise in the very unlikely and remote possibility that leachate did reach a tributary of Fall
Creek, that stream will be monitored to determine any contamination.
i. Compensation Plan
The Board of Representatives has established a compensation plan to offset economic impacts as a result
of siting the landfill at DR -7 for nearby property owners and to stabilize real property values. Such a
plan has been developed with public participation and will be implemented with public participation.
Reductions in property values, if they occur as a result of the landfill siting at DR -7, will be
compensated.
j. The presence of an Aquifer
Although the recently developed U.S. Geologic survey (USGS) maps indicate the presence of an aquifer
within the DR -7 site area, westerly of Caswell Road. testing of the site has indicated to the satisfaction of
DEC that there is no such aquifer underlying the proposed landfill site. The DEC determination validates
the findings of the Environmental Impact Statement.
k. Positive Conditions
The following positive or favorable conditions regarding the DR -7 site are present:
1) Depth to bedrock generally exceeds 100 feet and the revised regulations require 10 feet;
2) The soils are generally impermeable from the surface to bedrock;
3) The topography of the entire site area including the Lucente parcel and the Shank parcel is
generally flat;
4) The entire site area is vacant except for one mobile home residence owned by one of the two
parcel owners;
5) Tributaries of Mill Creek which traverse the site area will not be disturbed except for the
placement of a culvert at one location for the entry road leading westerly from Caswell Road.
6) The size of the site area as such would provide extensive buffering opportunities around the
active landfill and supporting facilities.
7) The soils on site are generally suitable for use in constructing berms, liner, pore pressure relief
system and the cap.
6. Consistent with the applicable policies of Article 42 of the Executive Law, as Implemented by
NYCRR §600.5, if appropriate this action will achieve a balance between the protection of the
environment and the need to accommodate social and economic considerations.

- 1 (Representative Proto), Excused - 2 (Representatives Howell and Shurtleff). Adopted.
WHEREAS, it is the goal and intent of the Board of Representatives, in cooperation with the
Board of Health and the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (IAWWTF), to phase out the land
disposal of septage in Tompkins County insofar as possible, and
WHEREAS, this goal cannot be fully accomplished at this time due to a ruling by the IAWWTF
not to accept the pumpings from grease traps, particularly from food establishments, and silt traps from
car wash facilities; and thus land disposal of these wastes (under Health Department and New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation Rules and Regulations), will still be necessary in the County,
and
WHEREAS, alternate special arrangements for grease trap and silt trap wastes will require an
additional year to work out details, thus making it necessary to continue the present land disposal permits
issued to pumpers by the Health Department, and
WHEREAS, the cost of this program through an agreement to be executed with the IAWWTF is
estimated as follows:
1. An annual payment to the IAWWTF for reimbursement prorated capital costs varying from
$23,190 in year 1987 to $10,460 in year 2006, a total of $335,500, schedule of payments attached*.
2. Payment to the IAWWTF for Operation and Maintenance Costs associated with septage, on a
pay as you go basis.
WHEREAS, these costs have been translated into a tipping fee charge to pumpers as follows,
assuming 2,000,000 gallons of septage per year:
Prorated Cost per 1,000
Gallons of Septage
Amortization of Bond $ 11.26
Operation and Maintenance Costs $ 15.33
Total $ 26.59
WHEREAS, it is within the interest of the County to phase in the program with the County
initially absorbing the capital cost and charging the operation and maintenance costs to pumpers, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Committee as follows:
1. The Chairman of the Board is authorized to execute an Agreement with the IAWWTF
guaranteeing payments for bonding and operation and maintenance costs and other appropriate matters.
2. The County Administrator is authorized to pay the annual reimbursement of bonding costs
from general funding, pending further study of the impact of costs.
3. The County and the IAWWTF shall establish rules and regulations and a tipping fee schedule
for a charge to pumpers to recover operation and maintenance costs estimated to be $15.33 per 1,000
gallons of septage at this time, plus an overhead charge by the County in the amount of $1.00 per tipping
event.
48
February 21, 1989
4. County staff, in cooperation with the Board of Health and the IAWWTF, will investigate
alternates for the disposal of septage grease wastes and silt trap material and present recommendations to
appropriate committees of the Board.
5. From time to time the appropriate committee(s) shall review the financial plan and make such
recommendations for change as may be appropriate.
6. In concert with the IAWWTF, the Chairman of the Board is authorized to execute appropriate
Agreements with licensed pumpers as a control measure.
7. Resolution No. 176 (June 28, 1988) is hereby rescinded.

Lost by voice vote. It was Moved by Mr. Lifton, seconded by Mr. Stein, to delete Nos. 1 and 2 in the

Table this resolution to the April 4, 1989 Board meeting. Motion Lost by voice vote. A voice vote took
place on the main motion and the resolution was adopted.
WHEREAS, the New York State Association of Counties supports replacing the Family Court
system of providing education services to handicapped children, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County supports the provision of appropriate services to all children in
need of them, as well as the concepts of due process and quality assurance and control advanced by
federal law (P.L. 94-142 and P. L. 99-457), and
WHEREAS, the Governor's Program Bill No. 15-R is a largely misdirected effort to implement the
aforementioned goals, and would ensure an explosion in state and local program costs without any
guarantee that quality services would be delivered, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives opposes Program Bill No. 15-
R because:
76
March 21, 1989
1. Program Bill No. 15-R proposes an unworkable administrative structure, in that program
control would be placed with the State Education Department, which is utterly unequipped to handle on a
timely basis the program approval and rate -setting responsibilities it would inherit under the Bill;
2. Program Bill No. 15-R proposes a fiscally irresponsible structure, in that local program
administration and decision making would be placed with school districts while insulating them from
responsibility for costs and the consequences of those decisions, while final control would be placed with
the State Education Department, which lacks any record of effective program monitoring on this area
over the past ten years;
3. Program Bill No. 15-R promotes a clear conflict of interest by establishing a service providers'
monopoly of child evaluations and making the evaluating professional a voting member of the local
committee;
4. Program Bill No. 15-R runs counter to the Governor's avowed belief in the importance of
accountability, by breaking all the links which would ensure effective and efficient program
administration; and
5. Program Bill No. 15-R violates the spirit of Home Rule by removing from counties oversight
responsibility and locally designed and highly effective county review systems which many Counties
have developed to fill the void in Family Court Law.
RESOLVED, further, That this Board urges the Senate and Assembly to enact a substitute to
Program Bill No. 15-R which is responsive to all the aforementioned concerns, including:
1. Providing that, so long as the counties are the contracting entity and bear 50 percent of the cost
of services, primary local administrative control and responsibility (including provider contracting, rate -
setting and program approval) shall be exercised by the counties subject to general oversight by the State
Education Department, thus avoiding the need for a process whereby counties could appeal placement
and rate -setting decisions;
2. Providing that the school districts' administrative expenses including the local committees' due
process costs, shall be shared by the districts and the State;
3. Providing that the counties' reasonable and necessary administrative expenses for the program
shall qualify for the same 50 percent reimbursement as applies to program and transportation costs, and
4. Providing for third -party reimbursement for the fullest possible range of services,
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution shall be forwarded to Governor Mario Cuomo,
State Senator James Seward, Assemblyman Martin Luster, New York State Association of Counties and
New York State Supervisors and County Legislators Association.

77
March 21, 1989
WHEREAS, said County vehicle sustained damage in the approximate amount of $22,000, and

Present: 9 (Representatives Call, Culligan, Lifton, Livesay, Mason, Proto, Stein, Tillapaugh, and
Watros). Excused: 6 (Representatives Dietrich, Howell, Nichols, Shurtleff, True, and Winch).
Approximately thirty-five people from the public and press attended the hearing.
Chairman Mason opened the information hearing at 7 p.m. and introduced Robert Watros,
Chairman of the Room Tax Review Committee as well as Chairman of the Budget and Administration
Committee.
Mr. Watros said our present Local Law No. 4 of 1986 has an expiration date of September 5,
1989. The Room Tax Review Committee composed of James Mason, Stuart Stein, Scott Heyman, and
himself will put forth a recommendation to this Board by proposed local law following this information
meeting. The Board presently has the report entitled "An Operational Review of the Convention and
Visitors Bureau of the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce" prepared for us by The Institute for
Tourism Development. He then asked for public comments.
Henry Theisen, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, stressed that present State legislation is
for "tourism and convention development".
Richard Driscoll, Bank Street, Newfield, said you can promote only so far as you have something
to promote and would like cultural development in Tompkins County.
Sean Killeen, Vice Chairman of Ithaca Rental Housing Task Force, urged serious consideration of
channeling funds from County room tax into programs for homeless and for affordable housing.
Elizabeth G. Miller, 10 Hickory Trail, Ithaca, said she lives here because of the cultural
community and sees how little money there is for the arts. Cultural events do draw conventions and
tourists.
Barbara Mink, 614 North Cayuga Street, urged allocating the new one percent to the arts, making
a stronger economic future and a better place to live.
Barbara Ebert, Historic Ithaca, urged funds for historic preservation and programs such as walking
tours.
Frank Cosentino, 70 Burdick Hill Road and Manager of Best Western Hotel, said the employees
working in the hotel/motel business have increased from 600 to 1000 employees, they are people who
own homes, rent apartments, shop in our stores, and ride TOMTRAN. He said the Greater Ithaca
Innkeepers Association is working, let's keep it working.
Valorie Mac Dougall, 315 South Aurora Street, said she was a low income resident and spoke in
support of low-income housing. She said homeless people were displaced from local motels so out-of-
towners could be housed during major events in the County.
Mike Tomassini, Downtown Ithaca, Inc., said the tax is "seed" money placed here by tourists. It
should not be subdivided. Tourism development can do more for long-time growth.
Gretchen Sachse, Educator with Historic Ithaca, said she talks to tourists on local events of
interest and felt the Chamber too often sends people to out-of-town and County events.
159
July 27, 1989
Stu Lewis, Chamber of Commerce member and Downtown Ithaca, Inc., favored tourism
development promotion. It promotes all local business and strong economy.
C. Keith LeGrand, Manager of Taughannock Falls Inn, cautioned increasing the room tax by an
additional one percent.
Diedre Silverman, Red Cross Shelter, said tourists visiting use our roads, fire and police
departments. She said the Red Cross has spent thousands of dollars on hotels and motels during
emergency situations. Funds are needed for homeless.
Martin Luster, 23rd District Assemblyman, said he would introduce legislation that the Board
wishes but said he didn't see it likely that legislation that would put hotel tax in other than tourism related
programs would pass.
Girard Oberrender, Jr., Chamber of Commerce, said Westchester does have room tax funds going
to other than tourism.
Jean Deming, Cultural Coordinator for the City of Ithaca, said she does not favor supporting
homeless and low-income housing out of room tax. She urged the use of this money as it is intended.
Geoff Donovan, Trumansburg, urged the use of this "seed" money for homeless.
Dale Flinn, 847 Ridge Road, Lansing, said he was here on behalf of his parents, David and Mary,
who own the Bay Horse, 813 Ridge Road, Lansing, and himself - soon to be a business owner in the City
of Ithaca. He expressed his support of raising the lodging tax from two percent to three percent for
tourism. He said the three percent is an investment for the future.
Ellen Rosten, 205 Willard Way, Ithaca, Manager of Motor Lodge, also supported the increase of
the room tax from two percent to three percent for tourism.
Ken Walker, Past President, Chamber of Commerce, urged the Board to act quickly on this issue
to allow proper planning for 1990.
Donald Culligan referred to the report by The Institute for Tourism Development entitled "An
Operational Review of the Convention and Visitors Bureau of the Tompkins County Chamber of
Commerce". He intends to support a percentage divided between the arts and the homeless and he hoped
other Board members would join him.
Virginia Bryant, Administrative Assistant, Economic Opportunity Corporation, said they did a
needs study which showed 42 unique people that used the shelter between November and April and that
proved to be very successful. This is the last year the Southside Center will be able to house these
people.
Terry Pasco, Friendship Center, said the needs are very legitimate and said the homeless problem
is not going to go away.
Robert Watros said September 5 is the last day for the present local law. He said the committee
will develop a recommendation to put before the full Board. He hopes that by August 8 the consensus of
the special committee will be available. Between now and then the committee will entertain proposals on
what would be the contract for continuation of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. For budgetary
reasons, it is necessary to come up with a plan and the term of the contract. He thanked everyone for
coming.

September 5, 1989
REGULAR MEETING
Public Hearing
Chairman Mason called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning the Draft
Environmental Assessment for Runway 14/32 Extension at Tompkins County Airport.
Chairman Mason asked Mr. Nicholas, Airport Manager, to introduce the representatives from
Calocerinos & Spina Engineers, P.C. and explain what is involved in the project.
Robert Nicholas, Airport Manager, introduced Frank Kulka, Airport Planning Manager; Andrew
Holesko, Assistant Airport Planning Manager; and Ron Peckham, Airport Division Manager.
Frank Kulka explained what was involved with this project and said there are four alternative
plans to review. The following briefly describes the four plans of alternative development.
Alternative 1 - "No Build": This plan represents a scenario where the Airport is not developed at
all. The facility would be maintained in its present state.
Alternative 2 - Construct 800' Runway Extension to 14 -end: It involves the extension of Runway
14-32 to a total length of 6,601 feet.
Alternative 3 - Construct 1200' Runway Extension to 14 -end: It involves Alternative 2 plus the
extension of the runway an additional 400 feet.
Alternative 4 - Construct 1200' Runway Extension to 32 -end: It involves an extension of 1,200
feet on the southern end of R/W 14-32.
Grace Haney, 29 Forest Acres Drive, said the DC -9 when fully loaded cannot take off when the
temperature is equal or above 84 F which occurs 3-6 times a year.
Britton Anderson, 22 Bean Hill Road, said the airplanes taking off are 50 feet above his house and
line up with his chimney and swimming pool. He also said you cannot talk on the telephone when the
airplanes are flying above his house. Since the trees have been cut, the noise is worse. Other airlines use
the big planes and it vibrates his house when they reverse the engines. It looks like they are trying to fly
old WWII planes and it makes the leaves on the trees sway.
Jack Hyde, 354 Snyder Hill Road, asked to have the site outlined on the map. He also asked about
the wetland. He asked about long-range planning and if Binghamton might be a better place and if there
is a need for a Southern Tier Airport.
Barbara Holbert, Stormy View Drive, said it seems that it will allow much bigger planes to land on
cooler days. Who legislates the time they come in and out? She also asked if planes land after the tower
closes?
Barbara Holbert said the Environmental Impact Statement was in there twice and it was not dated.
On page 4, the acres of vegetation are zero. Page 10, 16 - What effect of the proposed action? Page 5, 12
- How can you have increase of flights and not traffic? Page 8, 11 - You talked about cutting trees. Page
10, 17 - We have been told there was a hazardous waste dump, how close? Page 11, 18 - Do the Town of
Lansing and Village of Lansing agree? Page 11, 19 - On public controversy, no one knew about this
hearing until recently. Page 4, 21 - You talked about zoning changes, maybe it is too late, 1989 plan.
How can charges be the same as "no build".
180
September 5, 1989
Richard Thaler, representing the Town of Lansing, said he wrote to the Calocerinos & Spina firm
and never received a reply. He said Jeannine Kirby, Town of Lansing Supervisor, is here. The Town
Board discussed the proposal and although they want to support this, he thought there was a mistake on
Page 2, 7. On page 11, 18 - will it effect the character of the community. As attorney for the Town of
Lansing and some of the people, we think it will. Other concerns: 1) We would like to see what the
parameters of the noise are. 2) Do you have the field measurements of the takeoffs and landings - the
Ldn measurement must be made with field tests. We are searching for information so that we can go
back to the Town Board. If the County Board wants to do the extension then have airlines adjust their
flight patterns and maybe we can have a different or adjusted landing pattern.
Barbara Irish, Zoning Officer for the Village of Lansing, spoke concerning the possible zoning
changes.
David Cox, Forest Acres Drive, said this is a good report. He said he read it cover to cover and
understood it. He thought that understanding it was very easy. He said the problem this report has is that
it was written to a conclusion, and he had a problem with that. On page 1, 7 - planes don't take off 3 to 6
times a year. It doesn't say how many were bumped off, that is the problem. Is that a Piedmont/USAir
problem or ours, for four to eight million dollars. He said taxpayers are putting money in these projects
all over the United States. Another issue is the noise. It is based on the average noise of a twenty-four
(24) hour period, but from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. it is zero. It is geared through. He wanted Calocerinos &
Spina to see how that same noise would increase. He also asked what areas would have zoning changes.
He has been in Lansing 14 to 16 years and fought hard to get strict zoning in those areas and if you want
to change it, that is why there are a lot of people here.
LeMoyne Farrell, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning pages 4-9 and figure 4-2 - future noise contours
at the airport.
Robert Nicholas said the size of aircraft is by the demand in the community not by the length of
runway. The money from this project will come from passengers tickets not taxpayers. He said the DC -
9's have been landing at approximately the same time for the past ten (10) years.
Roger Farrell, Ithaca, said he had concerns about the information being old and the construction
date is 1991.
Dennis Menz, 16 Bean Hill Road, asked how the general public was notified, how were we to
know what was going to happen and what is next.
Chairman Mason said the notice was published in the Ithaca Journal August 16 and 23 and the
weeks of July 31 and August 28. It was also published in the Trumansburg Free Press August 2, 9, 16,
23, and 30, 1989.
Jeannine Kirby, Town of Lansing Supervisor, said she did not receive the SEQR.
JoAnn Mancini, 22 Sky Acres Drive, said the last flight comes in about 10:30 p.m.
David Allen, 254 Sapsucker Woods, asked where the end of the runway would be if the runway
were extended to the east and if they would take out the barn or the power lines?
JoAnn Mancini asked 1) Are you aware that the barn involves the peregrine falcon research? 2)
Has data been prepared on retail space at the airport? (Chairman Mason said not pertinent to the subject.)

favor.
September 5, 1989
Pat Cox, asked who is in favor of this expansion. She said it doesn't sound like anyone here is in
Jack Hyde said from what has been said tonight, is there a legal way this can be put to referendum.
Donald Lifton, Representative of Fall Creek, said he cut his teeth on politics in the Village of
Lansing. He said once again, the public has done their homework, and he feels this is an "issue of
controversy". He hopes that we can arrange to have a different type of publicity than the small print in
the legals of the official newspapers. It would say that the local share of 2 1/2 percent is $135,875.
When it is fees on users, enterprises at the airport and cash flow, and if these fees don't make it, the rest
has to come from someplace else - taxpayers. He then referred to page 4, 22. It doesn't make a case if we
proceed. Why is it so important that we spend this money. This County is wrestling with this growth/no
growth debate and any changes at the Tompkins County Airport and the fEIS should reflect that we
already have an over -heated economy here.
Beverly Livesay asked for the cost of doing an Alternative 3 option.
No one else wished to speak and Chairman Mason closed the public hearing at 7 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Under privilege of the floor, Chris Zikakis, Zikakis on Elmira Road, asked about the status of the
draft Environmental Impact Statement (dEIS) for the Central Processing Facility (CPF).
Mr. Winch, Chairman of the Construction Management Committee, said the committee will be
meeting tomorrow to discuss and act on the dEIS. He said he appreciates the comments that he and
Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, received. He also said he hopes to adjourn this Board meeting
to tomorrow night at 5 p.m.
Under privilege of the floor, Donald Lifton restated the history of the communications with
Cornell University and the Tompkins County Board of Representatives. He intends to continue to pursue
the issue.
Mr. Proto, Chairman, Airport Development Committee, said the committee will be meeting next
week with six (6) firms for the Airport terminal design.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the committee will meet

State Environmental Quality Review
FINDINGS STATEMENT
December 28, 1989
Pursuant to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQR) of the Environ-
mental Conservation Law, 6 NYCRR Part 617 and Resolution No. 408 of County of Tompkins
Board of Representatives dated December 18, 1989 authorizing the making of and filing of
Findings, the County of Tompkins as lead agency does make the following findings:
Name of Action: County of Tompkins Central Processing Facility.
Description of Action: The proposed project includes construction and operation of a
Central Processing Facility to receive recyclables for processing and
marketing, small amounts (less than five cubic yards per load) of
construction and demolition debris and non-baleables for transfer to
the DR -7 landfill site in the Town .of Dryden, New York, and for
receipt, baling and transfer of baled solid wastes, exclusive of
recyclables and construction and demolition debris, to the DR -7
landfill site as described herein.
Project Location:
The proposed location is: north and west of New York State Route
#13, fronting the north side of Commercial Avenue in the City of
Ithaca, New York and consisting of approximately 14.0 vacant acres
of land. This parcel is east of the Cayuga Lake Inlet and in the
southwest quadrant of the City of Ithaca.
357
December 28, 1989
Agency Jurisdiction: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the
following permits:
Permit to construct and operate a Central Processing Facility to
include:
Transfer Station (6 NYCRR §360.11);
Recyclable Handling and Recovery Facility (6 NYCRR
§360.12); and
Hauling permit (6 NYCRR Part 364) if waste water cannot be
discharged into the sanitary sewer system and the County is the
hauler.
Pate Final EIS Filed: December 18, 1989.
Facts and Conclusion in the FEIS Relied Upon to Support the Decision:
1. The County of Tompkins has given consideration to the findings in the Final EIS;
and
2. The requirements of this part (6 NYCRR 617) have been met; and
3. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations from among the
reasonable alternatives thereto, the action approved is one which minimizes or
avoids adverse environmental effects to the maximum extent practicable; including
the effects disclosed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement; and
4. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, to the
358
December 28, 1989
maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental effects revealed in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement process will be minimized or avoided by
incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigative measures which were
identified as practicable.
5. The following facts and conclusions contained in the Environmental Impact
Statement are relied upon to support the decision of this Board of Representatives to
proceed with the project in authorizing the filing of an application to construct and
operate a Central Processing Facility, including social, economic and other factors
and standards which formed the basis thereof:
a. The need for the project.
Approximately 80,000 tons of solid waste are generated within Tompkins
County annually and this volume has been increasing annually. The County
recently and currently is disposing of its solid waste, including construction
and demolition debris, at the County Landfill in the Town of Spencer, New
York formerly known as the Landstrom Landfill. That landfill is under a
Consent Order with the Department of Environmental Conservation
('DEC") to close and will reach capacity in any event by the end of 1990.
The County in the meantime is proceeding to site, permit and construct the
major elements of its solid waste management project, including the sanitary
landfill at the DR -7 site and the Central Processing Facility at the Commer-
cial Avenue site, here under review. In addition, recycling, except for
mandatory recycling, has also been assessed. As indicated hereafter in
paragraph "6.", the County is committing to the preparation of a subsequent
359
December 28, 1989
DEIS to evaluate other elements of the plan under consideration, including,
but not limited to household hazardous wastes, mandatory recycling and
composting, including an evaluation of all the interrelated elements. This
would provide the County with the necessary environmental assessment of
its plan which it must implement in accordance with Environmental
Conservation Law Section 27-0107.
b. Recycling.
The County has already implemented a pilot recycling program and
completed a recycling analysis entitled "Comprehensive Recycling
Analysis" by Recourse Systems, Inc. dated June, 1989. This analysis was
incorporated by reference in the CPF DEIS and is also part of the
application to construct and operate a sanitary landfill at the DR -7 site, as
required by 6 NYCRR Sections 360-2.3 (j) and 360-1.9 (f). The
application for the landfill permit was declared complete by DEC on
November 15, 1989 in accordance with 6 NYCRR Section 621.5. The
County interprets this to mean that the recycling program being "phased in"
to later include mandatory source separation is acceptable to DEC for permit
application purposes. The pilot program includes curbside collection at a
number of designated municipalities in the County. Drop site collection is
in place at more rural municipalities. Mandatory source separation of
residential recyclables will be in place no later than September 30, 1991.
Full countywide recycling will be in place after the CPF becomes
operational. Such an event would clearly enhance the recycling effort
required by the State Solid Waste Management Act of 1988 at a centralized
December 28, 1989
and accessible site on Commercial Avenue near the centroid of waste
generation for the County. The Phase II Report of O'Brien and Gere dated
October, 1987 incorporated by reference in this DEIS concluded that the
county waste stream was insufficient to justify the construction of a full
scale intermediate processing center dedicated solely to processing
recyclables. This proposed CPF will contain the centralized recycling
facility as well as the central baling and transfer facility for non -recyclable
wastes, and transfer of small volumes of construction and demolition
debris. As indicated elsewhere in this Findings Statement, the balance of
the recycling program, including the required mandatory source separation
element, will be addressed in a subsequent DEIS and will also embrace the
Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Plan, as required by law.
c. Baling.
Most of the solid waste delivered to the DR -7 sanitary landfill will be baled
solid waste. The primary exception will be bulky non-baleable wastes and
construction and demolition debris. The baling will occur at the Central
Processing Facility located on Commercial Avenue. This will involve
central processing at the baling facility and transportation in baled form to
the landfill which is described in detail in the DEIS. The baling and transfer
will reduce volume and will reduce traffic to the landfill site. It will also
mitigate escape of fugitive materials while in transit and eliminate the
necessity of compaction at the operating site and the required equipment to
accomplish same, thus reducing noise levels at DR -7. Baling of the waste
as herein considered has been committed to by the County in the landfill
December 28, 1989
SEQR and permit process as a mitigative measure for property owners near
the landfill site.
d. Siting of the Central Processing Facility.
The elements of the siting process were first set forth in the Volume
Reduction Study contained in the Phase I Report of O'Brien and Gere dated
February, 1987 which was incorporated by reference in this DEIS. That
study recommended further evaluation of recycling, co -composting, and
baling. Such evaluations are contained in the Phase II Report (incorporated
by reference in the DEIS) in Sections 1, 3 and 4. Central baling and
transfer of non -recyclable solid waste was recommended. This "offers the
ability to reduce vehicle traffic in the vicinity of the landfill", "reduces
blowing papers", and "reduce landfill operating expenses that tend to offset
the added expense of baling". Southwest Park in the City of Ithaca was
mentioned as a possible acceptable site subject to further investigations.
Private sector participation is under review. The Phase 11 Report recognized
the need for some limited processing of recyclables in the implementation of
the County's initial efforts to include some baling and glass processing.
This could be "contained in a separate materials handling facility or
incorporated into a centrally located baling/transfer station. The Phase I and
Phase II Reports were incorporated by reference in the DR -7 landfill DEIS
and included in that environmental assessment. This summary of the
development of baling, transfer, and recycling at a central location is
relevant in the site selection process for such a facility.
December 28, 1989
By Resolution No. 156 dated June 16, 1987, the Board of Representatives
committed to off site baling contingent on a favorable evaluation of same.
That evaluation was accomplished in the Phase II Report dated October,
1987 which was accepted by the Board of Representatives by Resolution
No. 305 dated November 16, 1987. When DR -7 was selected as the
preferred landfill site for SEQR review by Board of Representative's
Resolution No. 334 dated December 7, 1987, the Board also selected the
option to site, permit, and construct a separate "centrally located transfer and
baling facility" to include the materials handling/recycling facility. And,
further, the Board directed proceeding with the "siting and permitting of a
separate, centrally located combination baling, recycling and transfer facility
as described in the Phase II Report." The Phase II Report accepted by the
Board as lead agency identified the New York State Route 13 corridor as the
most practical location for the development of the Central Processing
Facility and viewed one specific site, Southwest Park, as the basis for that
analysis, although other sites were potentially available. Based on that
analysis, a Central Processing Facility (CPF) site Assessments Report
("CPF Report") dated April, 1988 was prepared by O'Brien & Gere and is
incorporated by reference into the DEIS herein. The CPF Report presents
the results of detailed assessments of 11 potential sites for the CPF located
in the City of Ithaca, Town of Ithaca, and Town of Lansing. These sites are
identified as follows:
1. Cornell/Collins site
2. County Airport site
3. Steam Plant site
4. Waste Water Treatment Plant site
5. Wallace Steel site
6. Southwest Park site
7. Mancini site
8. Cherry Street site
9. Industrial Park site
10. Weiner site
11. Commercial Park site
December 28, 1989
The CPF Report recommended further consideration of the Waste Water
Treatment Plant site, the Cherry Street site, the County Airport site, the
Weiner site, and the Commercial Park site as being most suitable for
construction of the proposed CPF. The Southwest Park site which had
received earlier mention in the Phase II Report was removed from
consideration because it was a dedicated park subject to federal assistance
grants that would be difficult to abrogate.
The County next considered the Waste Water Treatment Plant site which
was located on the eastern bank of the Cayuga Inlet between the City of
Ithaca Waste Water Treatment Plant and the New York State Department of
Transportation maintenance facilities. The City of Ithaca objected to the use
of waterfront property for the intended purpose and, in the meantime,
allowed the Farmers Market to locate at this site which precluded, for all
practical purposes, its utilization as a site for the proposed Central
Processing Facility.
By Resolution No. 150 dated June 7, 1988, the Board of Representatives as
lead agency selected the Industrial Park Site as the preferred site and
directed further studies and evaluation, including preparation of a DEIS. In
the subsequent evaluation, substantial design and operational limitations
were identified regarding the Industrial Park Site, and the Board of
Representatives by Resolution No. 12 dated January 17, 1989 authorized
additional evaluation of other sites by Resource Associates. In furtherance
thereof, a report was prepared entitled "CPF Site Evaluations" dated
February, 1989 which is incorporated by reference in this DEIS. The
December 28, 1989
Board as lead agency by Resolution No. 80 dated March 7, 1989 withdrew
the Industrial Park site as the preferred site for the facility.
Although the earlier 1988 CPF Site Assessments considered two sites near
or on the Tompkins County Airport (Cornell/Collins Site and the County
Airport Site). Cornell/Collins did not merit further consideration. The
County Airport Site did if the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would
authorize a permit under its jurisdiction. The Tompkins County Planning
Department submitted an appropriate and detailed application as indicated in
the FEIS and the request was denied by the FAA (DEIS Appendix W) by
letter dated November 28, 1988. The reasons given were (1) the airport has
an existing bird problem and location of the proposed facility would
aggravate this concern, (2) it would be in the flight plan and traffic pattern.
The fact that it was an enclosed facility did not matter. If the FAA objects,
the DEC could not consider a permit application because of the restrictions
of General Municipal Law Section 356. In addition, the Tompkins County
Airport is listed on an EPA/FAA document entitled "Airports Having a
Known Bird Hazard" (EPA, SW -828, 1980). Under the circumstances,
any resubmittal would be futile.
Thereafter, the Board by Resolution No. 92 dated March 21, 1989,
reviewed the CPF Site Evaluations Report and selected the Commercial
Avenue Site as the "alternate preferred site" to replace the Industrial Park
Site for SEQR review. The CPF Site Evaluations Report includes the
environmental analysis by the Tompkins County Department of Planning
which is presented at Appendix "A" of that Report, in full. The Report
December 28, 1989
evaluated an expanded Ithaca Industrial Park Site and four other sites,
including Cherry Street, Weiner, Commercial Avenue and Mancini. During
the development of the Tompkins County Solid Waste Project, including the
CPF, the City of Ithaca was kept apprised of matters relating thereto
including siting. Numerous meetings took place between County and City
staff, as well as elected officials. (See Appendix "B" of the DEIS.) A week
prior to the meeting of the County's Construction Management Committee
to recommend an alternate preferred site to the Board of Representatives, a
notice was sent to the Mayor of the City of Ithaca informing him of the
meeting and to invite appropriate staff and other officials. At the March 16,
1989 meeting of the Construction Management Committee, eight persons
attended in behalf of the City, including the Mayor, four Common Council
members, and staff. After discussion, the Commercial Avenue site was
selected by the Committee as the alternate preferred site and approved by the
Board as such. The Commercial Avenue site as indicated herein was the
fourth site considered with City knowledge and the City could have voiced
an objection at the time of selection, but did not. Site selection is a
substantive element of SEQR and requires a reasoned approach based upon
substantial evidence in the record and must not be arbitrary and capricious.
The County has met this requirement.
e. Compliance with New York State Solid Waste Management Plan.
The New York State Solid Waste Management Plan or Policy (Section 27-
0106 of the Environmental Conservation Law) has four components, and
they are:
December 28, 1989
1) Reduce the amount of solid waste generated;
2) Reuse or recycle solid waste;
3) Recover energy from the solid waste that cannot be reused or
recycled; and
4) The part that cannot be reused or recycled, or is not subject to
energy recovery, be landfilled.
The Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Project including
recycling, central transfer and baling, and landfilling, meets the require-
ments of the New York State Solid Waste Management Plan. An adequate
analysis has been provided as to why energy recovery is not appropriate at
this time. In addition, the County has initiated a pilot program to convert
yard wastes and sewage sludge for reuse through composting to reduce the
disposable wastes. The County intends to implement a full-scale sludge
composting operation subsequently.
The household hazardous waste program, the development of a composting
program and a mandatory recycling law are elements of the Tompkins
County Solid Waste Management Plan that will subsequently be assessed
and evaluated. The New York State Solid Waste Management Act of 1988
(Environmental Conservation Law Section 27-0107) requires that a County
implement a solid waste management plan which would require SEQR
December 28, 1989
review. The County hereby commits to a DEIS to be filed subsequently
which will analyze, assess and evaluate mandatory source separation
required by law, the household hazardous waste program, and the
composting program to coordinate same with the existing elements
including the landfill at DR -7, the Central Processing Facility, and current
recycling into the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Plan, as
required by law.
f. CPF Design.
The Central Processing Facility will be safe for all users; simple, efficient,
and organized to use and operate; sensitive to the concerns of neighboring
properties and the environment; and flexible enough to grow and change
with the rapidly evolving solid waste and recycling industry. In addition,
the design addresses and conforms to all the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part
360 regulations, and responds to the issues requiring mitigation as
described in the following paragraphs. A more detailed design will be
included in the DEC permit process which is subject to public comment.
g. Economics.
To the extent that it actually occurs, economic loss could be a significantly
adverse impact of the CPF. From investigations made in other communities
where solid waste processing facilities are located near business areas there
was no evidence that the existence of a similar type of processing facility
produced a decline in property values or jobs. In fact, recent sales of
December 28, 1989
properties in some of these areas indicated values were increasing. There
appeared to be no relationship between business, or the value of property,
and the waste processing operation in the communities investigated.
Loss of opportunity for private development of the Commercial Avenue site
cannot be avoided. The value of this type of development must be balanced
against the need for a recycling and solid waste processing facility. The
level of this impact, if it occurs, is not known due to the fact that the
property has remained vacant for 20 years under the existing zoning
classification.
h. Land Use and Zoning.
The degree of incompatibility with Southwest Park will depend on the
nature of the future development. For instance, new housing that may be
built in the future on the park site offers some possibility of incompatibility,
whereas a recreational or industrial use of Southwest Park would not, most
likely, be significantly affected by the activities of the CPF. As indicated by
the responses in the FEIS, mitigation measures such as screening, fencing,
and sensitive site planning of the future intended use of the park land, can
be employed to reduce impacts. An advantage, if new housing were
proposed for Southwest Park, is that the development of the CPF will be a
"known" entity, thereby reducing the anxiety of developing next to a vacant
industrially zoned parcel of land.
A degree of land use incompatibility between the CPF and nearby fast-food
December 28, 1989
restaurants and the adjacent motel is acknowledged. All such restaurants
face Elmira Road and are currently affected by the environmental conditions
produced by this heavily traveled major highway. Placement of the CPF
behind these restaurants, and the layout and landscaping of the CPF itself,
will help to reduce land use dissimilarities. In addition, operating standards
imposed by the DEC, and those to be implemented by the County, should
be very effective in minimizing potential problems that could affect
development of adjacent land and existing businesses in the area.
Zoning of the Commercial Avenue site has been changed by the City of
Ithaca since the investigation of environmental impacts of the proposed CPF
began. At the time the studies were made, the CPF operation was clearly
allowed by the zoning ordinance; now, it is not. As required by County
Law Section 226-b, Tompkins County has taken these regulations and land
use into consideration.
i. Noise Impacts.
Noise from the CPF operation is not expected to be a significant problem
for adjacent businesses. While operating a chipper, noise measurements
were made on Elmira Road, Spencer Road and Floral Avenue and inside
and around Journey's End Motel. Sound emanating from the chipper,
believed to be the noisiest operation on the CPF site, was not audible from
Spencer Road or Floral Avenue, nor from within the motel. The noise
emanating from trucks queuing at the entrance would be less significant than
that of the chipper, although it will begin earlier. Ambient noise levels on
December 28, 1989
Elmira Road are relatively high and off-site noise from the CPF operation is
not expected to exceed those levels.
Odor Impacts.
Odor that may be produced by the CPF operation is the least tangible, and
possibly the most difficult impact to evaluate. Other concerns, such as
economic loss and neighborhood quality are based, in large part, on the
potential problem of off-site odor emanating from the waste handling
process. Investigation in other communities produced some evidence that
off-site odors could be an occasional problem. By and large, however,
offensive odor was not listed as a problem even by those establishments
located adjacent to the waste handling facility in the communities inves-
tigated.
Cleanliness of operation has been identified as the key to odor prevention.
The County has stated its strong commitment to keeping the Central
Processing Facility free of waste and trash accumulations and to clean the
CPF on a daily basis. This should reduce to an acceptable minimum, or
eliminate the potential for adverse odor, even on those days when climatic
conditions prevent a free flow of air in the Inlet Valley.
There are odor reducing processes that can be employed to further reduce
any problems that might arise. The CPF is designed to be retrofitted with
appropriate odor control equipment and the County is committed to the
installation of such equipment if the need arises. The Neighborhood
December 28, 1989
Advisory Committee will advise the County in developing a mechanism or
program for monitoring odor complaints and concerns. The County shall
be ultimately responsible for addressing these concerns.
k. Water Resources and Wetlands.
The CPF project is not a disposal facility and as such does not represent a
threat to the groundwater. All of the potential contaminants that may arrive
at the site will be processed inside the main building and the clean-up water
will be collected for disposal at the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Runoff from the delivery vehicles in the yard waste drop-off area is not
likely to be significant and there are no mitigative measures planned.
A specific program for monitoring the local groundwater quality will be
submitted as part of the 6 NYCRR Part 360 permit application. The
Neighborhood Advisory Committee will advise the County in developing a
mechanism or program for monitoring groundwater impacts.
The Commercial Avenue site is not within the 100 year floodplain, and
based on discussions and data relative to high water conditions, the site is
not prone to flooding.
As indicated on Figure 6 of the DEIS, no part of the premises is a protected
wetland under DEC jurisdiction pursuant to the New York Freshwater
Wetlands Act. In addition, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
determined by letter dated November 6, 1989 that it has no jurisdiction in
December 28, 1989
that there are no federally regulated wetlands within the CPF site pursuant to
the United States Clean Waters Act.
1. Wastewater.
The separation of household hazardous and toxic materials from the general
waste stream is a component of the Tompkins County Solid Waste
Management Program that will be instituted and subsequently incorporated
into the proposed Central Processing Facility. The separation of these
materials will reduce the amount present on the tipping floor and will
improve the overall quality of the wastewater generated at the facility.
All refuse will be contained within the CPF building. All wastewater within
the building will be collected and piped to a storage tank. The wastewater
will be routinely tested for compliance with local pretreatment regulations,
and if satisfactory, will be released for treatment at the Ithaca Area
Wastewater Treatment Facility. If the wastewater is not found to be in
compliance, then it will be treated prior to its release. Information collected
from other similar existing solid waste facilities indicates that typical
wastewater (including household hazardous and toxic materials) does not
require pretreatment prior to release to a treatment facility.
m. Positive conditions.
The following positive or favorable conditions regarding the Central
Processing Facility site on Commercial Avenue are present:
December 28, 1989
1) It complies with the siting criteria established by the County in the
review of alternative sites required by SEQR which include:
(1) proximity to the centroid of waste generation, and
(2) proximity to a main transportation route through the county,
and
(3) consideration of zoning and land use.
2) When the site was selected for SEQR review, it complied with local
zoning (City of Ithaca Industrial -1) and an industrial classification is
generally accepted as the least restrictive of any zoning clas-
sification.
3) The premises., consisting of approximately 14 acres and zoned
Industrial, has remained vacant under such zoning classification for
over 20 years.
4) There is ample space on premises under the present proposal for
queuing delivery vehicles, thus removing them from public streets.
5) The combining of central recycling with central baling and transfer
will substantially enhance the regulatory required recycling effort.
December 28, 1989
6) The location on Commercial Avenue has potential for construction
of a railroad spur which could be used for export of recyclables to
market.
(7) The CPF site offers space to house the administrative offices of the
Tompkins county Solid Waste Department.
(8) The size of the site and direction of visual observation to the site
offer adequate buffering opportunities.
(9) The site has sewer, water, gas and electric service available.
(10) The site is flat and vacant, and will require little pre -construction
preparation excavation.
6. On January 4, 1989, the County of Tompkins issued and filed a Findings Statement
pursuant to SEQR for the DR -7 landfill component of the Tompkins County Solid
Waste Management Project. It addressed the recycling program as it then existed,
and, committed to delivery of baled solid waste "from a central processing facility
located in the City of Ithaca, New York." It was also determined in this earlier
Findings Statement that "[T]he baling and transfer will reduce volume and will
reduce traffic to the landfill site. It will also mitigate escape of fugitive materials
while in transit and eliminate the necessity of compaction at the operating site and
the required equipment to accomplish same, thus reducing noise levels in that
regard."
Environmental Conservation Law Section 27-0107 requires a county to prepare a
375
December 28, 1989
local solid waste management plan by January 1, 1990. Such a plan will be
prepared by the County to describe the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management
Project. The County acknowledges it will not meet the January 1, 1990 deadline.
The DEIS under current review for the CPF and the earlier DEIS for the landfill
component at the DR -7 site, address the initial elements of the project or plan,
including recycling (except for required mandatory recycling). As indicated in
paragraph "5. e." above, the County effort does comply with the New York State
Solid Waste Management Plan, and the proposed interim related effort (recycling,
CPF, and DR -7 landfill) will allow the County to proceed with in county disposal
of its solid waste without the necessity of costly export while the remaining
elements of the plan will be addressed and subject to public review in a subsequent
DEIS. That document will include a review of the overall solid waste management
plan covering all elements.
These elements requiring additional review or complete review in a DEIS to be
subsequently promulgated by the County are as follows:
1. Household Hazardous Wastes Program;
2. Composting at the DR -7 landfill site; and
3. A mandatory recycling law.
The County of Tompkins commits to the aforementioned subsequent DEIS which
will address and establish the local plan as required by law after evaluating the
interrelationship of all elements.
7. Consistent with the applicable policies of Article 42 of the Executive Law, as
376
December 28, 1989
implemented by 19 NYCRR §600.5, if appropriate, this action will achieve a
balance between the protection of the environment and the need to accommodate
social and economic considerations.

occupants and persons seeking occupancy in the hotel to which it applies. Such certificates shall be non -

7. Administration and Collection:
a. The tax imposed by this local law shall be administered and collected by the Tompkins
County Administrator, or other fiscal officers of the County as the Administrator may designate by such

b. The tax to be collected shall be stated and charged separately from the rent and shown
separately on any record thereof at the time when the occupancy is arranged or contracted or contracted
and charged for, and upon every evidence of occupancy or any bill, statement, or charge made for said
occupancy issued or delivered by the operator. The tax shall be paid by the occupant to the operator as
trustee for and on account of the County, and the operator shall be liable for the tax and collection of the
same. The operator and any officer of any corporate operator shall be personally liable for the tax
collected or required to be collected under this local law. The operator shall have the same right in
respect to collecting the tax from the occupant, or in respect to non-payment of the tax by the occupant,
as if the tax were a part of the rent for the occupancy payable at the time such tax shall become due and
owing, including all rights of eviction, dispossession, repossession and enforcement of any innkeeper's
lien that the innkeeper may have in the event of non-payment of rent by the occupant; provided, however,
that the County Administrator or other designated fiscal officer(s), employees or agents shall be jointed
as a party in any action or proceeding brought by the operator to collect or enforce collection of the tax.
c. The County Administrator may, wherever deemed necessary for the proper enforcement
of this local law, provide by regulation that the occupant shall file returns and pay directly to the County
Administrator the tax herein imposed, at such times as returns are required to be filed and payment made
by the operator.
d. The tax imposed by this local law shall be paid upon any occupancy on or after
September 5, 1989, although such occupancy is had pursuant to a contract, lease, or other arrangement
made prior to such date. Where rent is paid, charged, billed, or falls due on either a weekly, monthly, or
other term basis, the rent so paid, charged, billed, or falling due shall be subject to the tax herein imposed
to the extent that it covers any portion of the period on and after September 5, 1989. Where any tax has
been paid hereunder upon any rent which has been ascertained to be worthless, the County Administrator
may, by regulation, provide for the credit and/or refund of the amount of such tax upon application
therefore as provided in Section 13 of this local law.
e. For the purpose of the proper administration of this local law, and to prevent evasion of
the tax hereby imposed, it shall be presumed that all rents are subject to tax until the contrary is
established. The burden of proving that a rent for occupancy is not taxable hereunder shall be upon the
operator, except that, where by regulation pursuant to subdivision 7 (c) of this section, an occupant is
required to file returns and pay directly to the County Administrator the tax herein imposed, the burden
of proving that a rent for occupancy is not taxable shall be upon the occupant. Where an occupant claims
exemption from the tax under the provisions of subdivision 4 of this section, the rent shall be deemed
taxable hereunder unless the operator shall receive from the occupant claiming such exemption a
certificate duly executed by an exempt corporation or association certifying that the occupant is its agent,
385
Tompkins County Proceedings
representative, or employee, together with a certificate executed by the occupant that the occupancy is
paid or to be paid by such exempt corporation or association, and is necessary or required in the course of
or in connection with the occupant's duties as a representative of such corporation or association. Where
deemed necessary by the operator, the operator may further require that any occupant claiming
exemption from the tax furnish a coy of a certificate issued by the County Administrator certifying that
the corporation or association therein named is exempt from tax under subdivision 4 of this section.
8. Records to be kept: Every operator shall keep records of every occupancy, of all rent paid,
charged, or due, and of the tax payable thereon, in such form as the County Administrator may require by
regulation. Such records shall be available for inspection and examination at any time upon demand by
the County Administrator or his duly authorized employee or agent, and shall be preserved for a period of
three years, except that the County Administrator may consent to their destruction within that period or
may require that they be kept longer.
9. Returns:
a. Every operator shall file with the County Administrator a return of occupancy, of rents,
and of taxes payable thereon for the periods ending February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30
of each year, on and after September 5, 1989. Such returns shall be filed within 20 days from the
expiration of the period covered thereby. The County Administrator may permit or require returns to be
made by other periods and upon such dates as may be specified. If the County Administrator deems it
necessary in order to ensure the payment of the tax imposed by this local law, returns may be required for
shorter periods than those prescribed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section and upon such
dates as may be specified.
b. The form of returns shall be prescribed by the County Administrator and shall contain
such information as may be deemed necessary for the proper administration of this local law. The
County Administrator may require amended returns to be filed within 20 days after notice and to contain
the information specified in the notice.
c. If a return required by this local law is not filed, or a return when filed is incorrect or
insufficient on its face, the County Administrator shall take the necessary steps to enforce the filing of
such a return or of a corrected return.
10. Payment of Tax: At the time of filing a return of occupancy and of rents, each operator shall
pay to the County Administrator the taxes imposed by this local law upon the rents required to be
included in such return, as well as all other monies collected by the operator acting or purporting to act
under the provisions of this local law. Where the County Administrator deems it necessary to protect
revenues to be obtained under this local law, any operator required to collect the tax imposed by this
local law may be required to file a bond, issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in
this state and approved by the superintendent of insurance of this state as to solvency and responsibility,
in such amount as the County Administrator may fix to secure the payment of any tax and/or penalties
and interest due or which may become due from such operator. In the event that the County
Administrator determines that an operator is to file such a bond, notice to the operator shall be given to
that effect, specifying the amount of the bond required. The operator shall file the bond within five days
after the giving of notice unless within those five days the operator requests in writing a hearing before
the County Administrator, at which the necessity, propriety, and amount of the bond shall be determined
by the County Administrator. This determination shall be final and shall be complied with within 15
days after the giving of notice thereof. In lieu of a bond, securities approved by the County
Administrator or cash in the amount prescribed may be deposited into the custody of the County
Administrator, who may at any time, without notice to the depository, apply them to any tax and/or
386
Tompkins County Proceedings
interest or penalties due, and for that purpose the securities may be sold at public or private sale without
notice to the depositor thereof.
11. Determination of Tax: If a return required by this law is not filed, or if a return when filed is
incorrect or insufficient, the amount of tax due shall be determined by the County Administrator from
obtainable information. If necessary, the tax may be estimated on the basis of external indices, such as
number of rooms, location, scale of rents, comparable rents, type of accommodations and service,
number of employees and/or other factors. Notice of such determination shall be given to the person
liable for the collection and/or payment of the tax. Such determination shall finally and irrevocably fix
the tax unless the person against whom it is assessed, within 30 days after giving notice of such
determination, applies to the County Administrator for a hearing, or unless the County Administrator
redetermines the same. After such a hearing, the County Administrator shall give notice of the
determination to the person against whom the tax is assessed. The determination of the County
Administrator shall be reviewable for error, illegality, unconstitutionality, or any other reason whatsoever
by proceeding under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules if application thereof is made to the
Supreme Court within 30 days after the filing of the notice of such determination. A proceeding under
Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules shall not be instituted unless the amount of any tax sought
to be reviewed with penalties and interest thereon, if any, is first deposited with the County
Administrator and an undertaking is filed with the County Administrator, issued by a surety company
authorized to transact business in this state, approved by the superintendent of insurance of this state as
to the solvency and responsibility, in an amount approved by a Supreme Court Justice, to the effect that if
the proceeding is dismissed or the tax confirmed, the petitioner will pay all charges and costs which may
accrue in the prosecution of the proceeding, or, at the option of the applicant, such undertaking filed with
the County Administrator may be in a sum sufficient to cover the taxes, penalties, and interest thereon
stated in such determination plus the costs and charges which may accrue against it in the prosecution of
the proceeding. In that event, the applicant will not be required to deposit such taxes, penalties, and
interest as a condition precedent to the application.
12. Disposition of Revenues: All revenues resulting from the imposition of the tax under this
local law shall be paid into the treasury of the County, credited to and deposited in(to) the General Fund
of the County, thereafter to be allocated for tourism and convention development; except however, that
the County is hereby authorized to retain up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of such revenue to defer
the necessary expenses of the County in administering the tax. The revenue derived from the tax, after
deducting the amount provided for administering such tax, as so authorized by this local law, shall be
allocated to enhance the general economy of Tompkins County, its cities, towns and villages, through
promotion of tourist activities, conventions, trade shows, special events and other directly related and
supporting activities.
13. Refund, Revision or Credits:
a. In the manner provided in this section, the County Administrator shall refund or credit,
without interest, any tax, penalty, or interest erroneously, illegally or unconstitutionally collected or paid
if application to the County Administrator for such refund is made within one year from the payment
thereof. Whenever a refund is made by the County Administrator, the reason therefor shall be stated in
writing. Such application may be made by the occupant, operator, or other persons who has actually paid
the tax. Such application may also be made by an operator who has collected and paid over such tax to
the County Administrator, provided that the application is made within one year of the payment by the
occupant to the operator. However, no actual refund of monies shall be made to such operator until it is
first established to the satisfaction of the County Administrator under such regulations as the County
Administrator by authority of the Board of Representatives may prescribe, that the operator has repaid to
the occupant the amount for which the application for refund is made. In lieu of any refund required to
be made, the County Administrator may allow credit therefor on payments due from the applicant.
387
Tompkins County Proceedings
b. An application for a refund or credit made as herein provided shall be deemed an
application for a revision of any tax, penalty, or interest complained of, and the County Administrator
may receive evidence with respect thereto. After making determination, the County Administrator shall
give notice thereof to the applicant, who shall be entitled to review said determination by a proceeding
pursuant to Article 78 of the C.P.L.R., providing the proceeding is instituted within 30 days after the
giving of the notice of determination and provided a final determination of tax due was not previously
made. Such a proceeding shall not be instituted unless an undertaking is field with the County
Administrator in an amount and with sureties approved by a Justice of the Supreme Court to the effect
that if such proceedings are dismissed or the tax confirmed, the petitioner will pay all costs and charges
that may accrue in the prosecution of said proceeding.
c. A person shall not be entitled under this section to a revision, refund, or credit of a tax,
interest, or penalty that had been determined to be due pursuant to the provisions of Section 13 of this
local law where said person has had a hearing or an opportunity for a hearing as provided in this section,
or who has failed to avail himself of the remedies provided therein. No refund or credit of a tax, interest,
or penalty paid after a determination by the County Administrator pursuant to Section 11 of this local law
shall be paid unless it is found that the determination was erroneous, illegal, unconstitutional, or
otherwise improper by the County Administrator after a hearing or of his own motion, or in a proceeding
under Article 78 of the C.P.L.R. pursuant to the provisions of said section. In that event, refund or credit
without interest shall be made of the tax, interest, or penalty found to have been overpaid.
14. Remedies Exclusive: The remedies provided by Sections 11 and 13 of this local law shall be
exclusive remedies available to any person for the review of tax liability imposed by this local law. No
determination, proposed determination of tax nor determination on any application for refund shall be
enjoined or reviewed except as hereinafter provided, by an action for declaratory judgment, an action for
money had and received, or by any action or proceeding other than a proceeding in the nature of a
certiorari proceeding under Article 78 of the C.P.L.R. A taxpayer may, however, proceed by a
declaratory judgment if he/she institutes suit within 30 days after a deficiency assessment is made and
pays the amount of the deficiency assessment to the County Administrator prior to the institution of such
suit and posts a bond for costs as provided in Section 11 of this local law.
15. Proceedings to Recover Tax:
a. Whenever any operator, any officer of a corporate operator, any occupant, or other person
fails to collect and pay over any tax and/or penalty or interest as imposed by this local law, the County
Attorney shall, at the request of the County Administrator, bring or cause to be brought an action to
enforce the payment of same on behalf of the County in any court of the State of New York or of any
other state or of the United States. If, however, the County Administrator believes that any such
operator, officer, occupant, or other person is about to cease business, leave the state, or remove or
dissipate the assets out of which the tax or penalties might be satisfied, and that any such tax or penalty
will not be paid when due, such tax or penalty may be declared to be immediately due and payable, and
the County Administrator may issue a warrant immediately.
b. As an additional or alternate remedy, the County Administrator may issue a warrant,
directed to the Sheriff, commanding the Sheriff to levy upon and sell the real and personal property of the
operator, officer of a corporate operator, or other person liable for the tax, which may be found within the
County for the payment of the amount thereof, with any penalties and interest, and the cost of executing
the warrant, and to return such warrant to the County Administrator and to pay to the County
Administrator the money collected by virtue thereof within 60 days after the receipt of said warrant.
Within five days after the receipt of the warrant, the Sheriff shall file a copy of same with the County
Clerk. Thereupon the Clerk shall enter in the judgment docket the name of the person stated in the
warrant, the amount of the tax, penalties, and interest for which the warrant is issued, and the date when
such copy is filed. Thereupon the amount of such warrant so docketed shall become a lien upon the
388
Tompkins County Proceedings
interest in real and personal property of the person against whom the warrant is issued. The Sheriff shall
then proceed upon the warrant in the same manner and with like effect as that provided by law in respect
to executions issued against property upon judgments of the court of record. For services in executing
the warrant, the Sheriff shall be entitled to the same fees, which may be collected in the same manner. In
the discretion of the County Administrator, a warrant of like terms, force, and effect may be issued and
directed to any officer or employee of the County Administrator. In the execution thereof, such officer or
employee shall have all the powers conferred by law upon sheriffs, but shall be entitled to no fee or
compensation in excess of the actual expenses paid in the performance of such duty. If a warrant is
returned not fully satisfied, the County Administrator may, from time to time, issue new warrants and
shall also have the same remedies to enforce the amount due thereunder as if the County has recovered
judgment therefor and execution thereon has been returned unsatisfied.
c. Whenever an operator makes a sale, transfer, or assignment of any part or the whole of
the hotel or lease, license, or other agreement or right to possess or operate such hotel or the equipment,
furnishings, fixtures, supplies, or stock of merchandise, or the said premises or lease, license or other
agreement or right to possess or operate such hotel and equipment, furnishings, fixtures, supplies and
stock of merchandising pertaining to the conduct or operation of said hotel, other than in the ordinary and
regular prosecution of business, the purchaser, transferee or assignee shall, at least ten days before taking
possession of the subject of said sale, transfer or assignment, or before making payment, notify the
County Administrator by registered mail of the proposed sale and the price, terms, and conditions thereof
whether or not the seller, transferor or assignor has represented to or informed the purchaser, transferee,
or assignee that it owes any tax pursuant to this local law, whether or not the purchaser, transferee, or
assignee has knowledge that such taxes are owing, and whether any such taxes are in fact owing.
d. Whenever the seller, transferor, or assignor fails to give notice to the County
Administrator as required above, or whenever the County Administrator informs the purchaser,
transferee, or assignee that a possible claim for such tax(es) exists, any sums of money, property, choses
in action, or other consideration which the purchaser, transferee or assignee is required to transfer over to
the seller, transferor, or assignor shall be subject to a first priority right and lien for any such taxes
theretofore or thereafter determined to be due from the seller, transferor, or assignor to the County. The
purchaser, transferee, or assignee is then forbidden to transfer to the seller, transferor, or assignor any
such sums of money, property, or choses in action to the extent of the amount of the County's claim. For
failure to comply with the provisions of this subdivision, the purchaser, transferee, or assignee, in
addition to being subject to the liabilities and remedies imposed under the provisions of Article 6 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, shall, as well as the seller, transferor, or assignor, be personally liable for the
payment to the County of any such taxes theretofore and thereafter determined to be due to the County
from the seller, transferor, or assignor. Such liability may be assessed and enforced in the same manner
as the liability for tax under this local law.
16. General Powers of the County Administrator:
a. In addition to the powers granted in this local law, the County Administrator is hereby
authorized and empowered to:
(1) extend for cause shown, the time of filing any return for a period not exceeding thirty
(30) days; and for cause shown, to remit penalties but not interest; and to compromise
disputed claims in connection with the taxes hereby imposed;
(2) request information from the Tax Commission of the State of New York or the
Treasury Department of the United States relative to any person; and to afford
information to such Tax Commission or Treasury Department relative to any person,
notwithstanding any other provision of this local law;
389
Tompkins County Proceedings
(3) delegate functions hereunder to a Deputy County Administrator or any employee(s)
of County Administration;
(4) prescribe methods for confirming the rents for occupancy and to confirm the
accuracy of information on the taxable and non-taxable rents;
(5) require any operator with the County, if it is determined that adequate records are not
being maintained, to keep detailed records of the nature and type of hotel maintained;
nature and type of service rendered; number of rooms available and occupied; daily
leases, occupancy contracts or arrangements; rents received, charged, and accrued; the
names and addresses of the occupants; whether or not any occupancy is claimed to be
subject to the tax imposed by this local law; and to furnish such information at the
request of the County Administrator;
(6) impose as a penalty upon any operator within the County any necessary costs of
auditing services generated by discrepancies discovered upon audit, in the records of the
operator; and
(7) make, adopt, and amend such other rules and regulations appropriate to the carrying
out of this local law and the purposes thereof as may be approved by the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives.
17. Administration of Oaths and Compelling Testimony:
a. The County Administrator or employee(s) or agent(s) duly designated and authorized
shall have the power to administer oaths and take affidavits in relation to any matter or proceeding in the
exercise of their powers and duties under this local law. The County Administrator shall have the power
to subpoena and require the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers and documents
to secure information pertinent to the performance of the duties hereunder in the enforcement of this
local law, and to examine them in relation thereto. The County Administrator shall also have the power
to issue commissions for the examination of witnesses who are out of the state, unable to attend, or who
are excused from attendance.
b. A Supreme Court Justice, either in court or in chambers, shall have the power to
summarily enforce by proper proceedings the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production
and examination of books, papers, and documents called for by the subpoena of the County
Administrator under this local law.
c. Any subpoenaed person who refuses to testify or produce books or records, or who
testifies falsely in any material matter pending before the County Administrator under this local law shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishment for which shall be a fine of not more than $1,000 or
imprisonment for not more than one year, or both fine and imprisonment.
d. The officers who serve the summons or subpoena of the County Administrator and
witnesses attending in response thereto shall be entitled to the same fees as are allowed to officers and
witnesses in civil cases in courts of record, except as herein provided otherwise. Such officers shall be
the County Sheriff and duly appointed deputies, or any officers or employees of the County
Administrator's office designated to serve such process.
18. Reference to Tax: Whenever reference is made to this tax in placards or advertisements or
in any other publications, such reference shall be substantially in the following form: "Tax on occupancy
of hotel rooms" or "occupancy tax," except that in any bill, receipt, statement, or other evidence of
390
Tompkins County Proceedings
memorandum of occupancy or rent charge issued or employed by the operator, the word "tax" will
suffice.
19. Penalties and Interest:
a. Any person failing to file a return or to pay over any tax to the County Administrator
within the time required by this local law shall be subject to a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount
of tax due, plus interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such tax for each month of
delay, except the first month after such return was required to be filed or such tax became due. Such
penalties and interest shall be paid and disposed of in the same manner as other revenues from this local
law.
b. The following persons shall, in addition to the penalties herein or elsewhere
prescribed, be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishment for which shall be a fine of not more than $1,000 or
imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both:
(1) any operator, occupant, or any officer of a corporate operator or occupant failing
to file a return required by this local law, or filing or causing to be filed, making or
causing to be made, giving or causing to be given any return, certificate, affidavit,
representation, information, testimony or statement authorized or required by this
local law, which is willfully false;
(2) any operator or officer of a corporate operator willfully failing to file a bond
required to be filed pursuant to Section 11 of this local law, failing to file a
registration certificate and such data in connection therewith as the County
Administrator may require, failing to display or surrender the certificate of authority
as required by this local law, or assigning or transferring such certificate of authority;
(3) any operator or officer of a corporate operator willfully failing to charge
separately from the rent the tax herein imposed, willfully failing to state such tax
separately on any evidence or occupancy and on any bill, statement, or receipt of rent
issued or employed by the operator, or willfully failing or refusing to collect such tax
from the occupant;
(4) any operator or officer of a corporate operator who refers or causes reference to
be made to this tax in a form or manner other than that required by this local law; and
(5) any operator failing to keep records required by subdivision 8 and Section 3 of
this local law.
c. Any operator or officer of a corporate operator who fails to file a certificate of
registration as provided under this local law shall be subject to a penalty of $50 for each month of
delinquency in filing such certificate. Officers of a corporate operator shall be personally liable for the
tax collected or required to be collected by such corporation under this local law, and subject to the
penalties hereinabove imposed.
d. The certificate of the County Administrator to the effect that a tax has not been paid,
that a return, bond, or registration certificate has not been filed, or that information has not been supplied
pursuant to the provisions of this local law, shall be presumptive evidence thereof.
20. Returns to be Secret:
391
Tompkins County Proceedings
a. Except in accordance with the proper judicial order, or as otherwise provided by law, it
shall be unlawful for the County Administrator or any officer or employee of the County Administrator's
office to disclose in any manner the rents or other information relating to the business of a taxpayer
contained in any return required under this local law, except to such persons and at such times as
necessary to carry out this local law. The officers charged with the custody of such returns shall not be
required to produce any of them or evidence of anything contained in them in any action or proceeding in
any court, except on behalf of the County Administrator in an action or proceeding under the provisions
of this local law, or on behalf of any party to any action or proceeding under the provisions of this local
law when the returns or facts shown thereby are directly involved in such action or proceeding. In any of
these events, the Court may require the production of and may admit into evidence as much of said
returns or the facts shown thereby as are pertinent to the action or proceeding, and no more. Nothing
herein shall be construed to prohibit the delivery to the taxpayer or his/her duly authorized representative
of a certified copy of any return filed in connection with his/her tax nor to prohibit the publication of
statistics classified so as to prevent the identification of particular returns and the items thereof. In
addition nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the inspection by the County Attorney or other
legal representatives of the County of the return of the taxpayer who shall bring action to set aside or
review the tax based thereon, or against whom an action or proceeding has been instituted for the
collection of tax or penalty. Returns shall be preserved for three years and thereafter until the County
Administrator permits them to be destroyed.
b. Any violation of subdivision a. of this section shall be punishable by a fine not
exceeding $1,000 or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, in the discretion of the Court. If
the offender is an officer or employee of the County, (s)he shall be subject to dismissal from office.
21. Notices and Limitations of Time:
a. Any notice authorized or required under the provisions of this local law may be given
by mailing the same to the person for whom it is intended in a postpaid envelope addressed to such
person at the address given in the last return filed by him pursuant to the provisions of this local law, or
in any application made by him. If no return has been filed nor application made, then notice may be
given by mailing same to such address as may be obtainable. Mailing of such notice shall be
presumptive evidence of the receipt of same by the person to whom it is addressed. Any period of time
which is determined according to the provisions of this local law by the giving of notice shall commence
to run from the date of mailing of such notice.
b. The provisions of the Civil Practice Law and Rules or any other law relative to
limitations of time for the enforcement of a civil remedy shall not apply to any action or proceeding taken
by the County to levy, appraise, assess, determine, or enforce the collection of any tax or penalty
provided by this local law. However, except in the case of a willfully false or fraudulent return with the
intent to evade the tax, no assessment of additional tax shall be made after the expiration of more than
three years from the date of filing of a return; provided, however, that where no return has been filed as
provided by law, the tax may be assessed and collected at any time.
c. Where a taxpayer has consented in writing, before the expiration of the period
prescribed herein for the assessment of an additional tax, that such period be extended, the amount of
such additional tax due may be determined at any time within the extended period. The period so
extended may be further extended by subsequent consents in writing made before the expiration of the
extended period.
22. Separability: If any provision of this local law, or the application thereof to any person or
circumstances, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this local law and the application of its provisions
to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
