Kenneth C. Crowe II reports in The Albany Times-Union that Hoosick Falls has more problems now than just the toxic PFOA chemical in the drinking water there. The state departments of Environmental Conservation and Health said Feb. 9 that they have told Honeywell to immediately conduct a study of the volatile organic compounds trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane at the former John Street facility. The first chemical is considered carcinogenic, and the second can depress the central nervous system. "During the course of the PFOA investigation, where the results are being validated by an independent party, we discovered volatile organic compounds that exceed New York state standards in groundwater and soil that was collected from locations at, and near, the former John Street facility," a letter from Honeywell, posted on the village website, states. The Village Board will discuss the issue at its Tue., Feb. 14, meeting. Read the full story in The Albany Times-Union.
