GCL is a very environmentally destructive and irresponsible organization. Not only are they poor neighbors who reduce property values due to excessive noise and long, loud hours of operation, but they also contaminate soil and groundwater with lead and metals. They border Irondequoit Creek and their rainfall runoff of lead and metals is certain to contaminate the creek. They have taken no steps to improve their site in more than 30 years. Genesee Conservation League would be considered a hazardous waste site under any other condition and will be considered a hazardous waste site once it ceases operation. The taxpayer will then have to clean up their toxic waste legacy.
GCL only exists because it was grandfathered by a crony Penfield Town Board. The town has been neglectful of GCL oversight and it ignores neighbors complaints about the high noise levels.
If the lead shot coming from their guns was instead used in a slingshot, the waste generated would be considered hazardous waste. Yes, Genesee Conservation League is generating hazardous waste under any other circumstance. They are an organization that will leave an environmental disaster behind its eventually closed doors.
