A developer looking to build a waste-to-energy facility at the Calverton Enterprise Park is asking the Riverhead Zoning Board of Appeals to overrule the town building department's determination that the zoning code prohibits the use. The facility, proposed by Melville-based CEA Energy, would process organic wastes and generate renewable natural gas and compostable soil amenders, according to documents filed with the ZBA.
