The recommendation means the project can move forward in the environmental review process without requiring a more detailed environmental impact statement under the committee’s finding. Officials said the facility would be enclosed, waste would be moved off-site within a couple of days, and it would not have capacity for commercial waste. Questions remained about traffic, energy use, noise, odor, and effects on the Albany Pine Bush area.
