The Environmental Hearing Board confirmed what we’ve long known: Keystone Sanitary Landfill is not being operated as safely or responsibly as claimed—plagued by years of serious problems with leachate and offsite odors and the DEP failed to protect the public.
Because of this ruling, the permit for Keystone’s Phase III expansion is now clouded with uncertainty. The Board sent it back for further review, demanding that the DEP reassess whether the landfill’s serious issues that it now knows about are properly considered.
This is a clear and hard-fought victory for our community—one that forces stronger environmental protections and greater accountability moving forward. Your support, your calls and your love of NEPA are the reason why.
The path forward for Keystone just got longer, more complicated, and more uncertain—and that’s thanks to you: the residents, supporters, and advocates who refuse to be silenced and look the other way.
We’re organized. We’re watching. And we’re not going anywhere.
