In 1998 the Authority assigned the operations service agreement for the York County Resource Recovery Center to MYRES (now known as Veolia).  The service agreement had previously been held by York Resource Energy Systems (YRES—formerly a subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Corporation), now a subsidiary of Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc (CBS).

The assignment of the service agreement to a different vendor occurred as a result of a shift in CBS’s business focus from resource energy systems to communications.
