By SARAH ROBERTS

Local attorney Douglas Zamelis, of Springfield, recently won an important victory at the second highest court in the state in an ongoing battle to close the largest landfill in the state of New York.
In 2010, Zamelis began to work with the Concerned Citizens of Seneca County and the Waterloo Container Company in order to address concerns about the Seneca Meadows landfill. The primary issue was the foul smell impacting the communities of Seneca Falls and Waterloo. With Zamelis’ help, the Town of Seneca Falls Local Law #3 was passed in 2016, ordering the landfill to be capped in 2025 and barring any further waste disposal within the Town of Seneca Falls.
Litigation has been ongoing ever since.
