  APPLAUDING CLINTON COUNTY SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY AND WAYNE TOWNSHIP 
                                LANDFILL

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, today, I stand to applaud 
the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority and their Wayne Township 
Landfill, which has been an essential contributor to our community for 
half a century.
  Originally permitted in 1973 and developed in 1990, this landfill now 
boasts a state-of-the-art subtitle D facility and recently received 
approval for a 75-acre expansion, providing an additional 23 years of 
disposal capacity.
  The Wayne Township Landfill is not just a waste management site. It 
is a beacon of responsible waste disposal, recycling, and community 
preservation. They are dedicated to ensuring the quality and longevity 
of Clinton County.
  This remarkable institution has been a substantial force for good in 
our community, providing financial support to local fire companies, 
offering scholarships, and reducing tipping fees to ease the burden on 
our citizens.
  They actively participate in environmental conservation; contribute 
to local sports, educational programs, and community events; and have 
played a crucial role in industrial park expansion and flood cleanup 
efforts.
  The Wayne Township Landfill is a lifeline for our community, 
employing 81 individuals, stimulating local economic growth, and 
investing in our community infrastructure.
  As they celebrate their 50th anniversary of waste acceptance, it is 
evident that they are more than a landfill. They are dedicated stewards 
of our community's well-being, economic prosperity, and environmental 
health.
