This week, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation entered the legal fray against New York City over the NYC Department of Environmental Protection's releases of muddy water into the Esopus Creek. The story was big news, and we rounded up some of the coverage of the issue yesterday.
Today, we've gotten our hands on a copy of the DEC's legal complaint against the DEP, in which it asks an administrative law judge to fine the city agency $2.6 million for discharging pollutants without a permit. To read the full complaint, see below:
DEC v. DEP complaint re: Esopus releases
A letter accompanying the complaint also states that there will be a public hearing in the matter at the DEC's offices in Tarrytown later this spring.
