| | Farmersville dump proposal overview |
 | | According to Cattaraugus County Clerk records, in January and February of 1998, the land proposed for a dump in Farmersville was sold to a new company, Southern Tier Waste Systems (STWS), for a combined total of over $5 million, including parcels sold by Ken Lefler to STWS for half that amount. |
 | | The Farmersville landfill proposal has gone through some changes since 1996, including an increase in capacity to 915,000 tons, then a decrease to about 600,000 tons, but the plan still includes up to 3,000 tons per year. |
 | | On the urging of the county and CCCC, a public scoping meeting on the permit application was held by the DEC in March, 1999, at which elected officials from the county, the City of Olean, and nearby Village of Franklinville expressed unanimous and vociferous opposition, together with about 400 citizens. |
