N.Y. Envtl. Conserv. Law § 27-1911 — Prohibition on land burial is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
§ 27-1911. Prohibition on land burial.
1. No person shall knowingly dispose of waste tires in a landfill except as provided in subdivision two of this section.
2. No moneys from the waste management and cleanup fund shall be used to dispose of waste tires in a landfill unless the department has determined that it is not feasible to convert the waste tires to a beneficial use. Department-approved beneficial uses of scrap-tire-derived material for leachate collection systems, or gas collection systems in the construction or operation of a landfill are not considered disposal.
