Tri-County Landfill, Inc. ("Tri-County") filed this appeal from the Department of Environmental Protection's (the "Department's") denial of its application for a municipal waste landfill permit at a site in Pine and Liberty Townships, Mercer County. Ray Yourd, Diana Hardisky, Eric and Polly Lindh, Bill and Lisa Pritchard, Ann and Dave Dayton, and Doug Bashline (the "Petitioners"), who support the Department's decision to deny the permit, have filed a petition to intervene. Their petition, which is supported by verifications, alleges that they all live, work, and/or recreate in close proximity to the site of the proposed landfill, and that the landfill will likely have a detrimental impact upon their economic and environmental well-being.
