Covanta Energy eyes Chester County for project 11/2/2009 "Now it�s up to Chester County and the state to approve zoning changes and permits for the 100-acre S.C. Highway 9 site near the Fort Lawn community."
Congratulations to Summer 2010 "Covanta had hoped to pass a bill that would have removed the 600 tpd restriction and exempt WTE plants from typical incinerator regulations. But, much to their disappointment, the proposed bill was tabled, effectively killing the bill."
