LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln officials say the city has amassed enough funds to build a permanent hazardous waste facility that could open by fall 2017.

Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department Director Judy Halstead says the city can move forward with design and construction plans after collecting $320,000 from the Nebraska Environmental Trust, $300,000 from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and $600,000 in city tax dollars.

The building will store household and small business hazardous waste until the city’s national contractor collects it. Hazardous waste that will be collected include pesticides, car fluids, cleaning agents, and items that contain mercury and oil-based paint.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The City of Omaha has begun preparing for an infestation of the emerald ash borer.

Mayor Jean Stothert said Friday that she will budget $1 million a year in the city’s five-year capital improvement program, beginning in 2017. The city has begun preparing for the expected infestation by cutting down unhealthy ash trees and buying tree-removal equipment.

City Parks Director Brook Bench says the city has hired a four-person tree-trimming crew devoted solely to ash trees.

The insects are native to Asia and were first spotted in the U.S. in 2002, when they showed up in the Detroit area. The emerald ash borer has killed millions of trees. Once infected, trees typically die within five years.
