Saratoga Biochar Video Resources
Saratoga Biochar Solutions LLC has released a series of videos to promote understanding and transparency for the community regarding the processes that will be used at the proposed Biochar facility in Moreau, NY. On Monday, December 19, 2022 at 6:00 PM, Saratoga Biochar Solutions LLC will hold a virtual public meeting. This meeting is part of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) permitting process; Saratoga Biochar Solutions LLC has submitted an application to the NYSDEC for a Solid Waste Management Facility and State Air Facility permit for Carbon Fertilizer.
This $45-million project will occupy 5.9 acres near the Hudson River. The public can join the meeting by using this link: https://bit.ly/3UaoNjX, or by calling in at (518) 801-9266, and entering the meeting ID 697144872#.

The aim of these videos is to educate the public and enhance the ongoing conversation. Saratoga Biochar is releasing these videos to support an open discourse with the community on Monday, December 19th.
Vocal opponents of the proposed facility include residents who are united under the name “Not Moreau”; These community members believe that Saratoga Biochar’s outreach to community members and neighboring towns has been insufficient. During the virtual meeting, each resident who signs into the meeting will be given two to three minutes to speak, and community members will also be able to post questions to a chat. The DEC will be monitoring the outcome of the meeting to determine if it meets the state’s public participation and environmental justice obligations.
