Jonathan Stempel reports for Reuters that New York sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Aug. 21, over the EPA saying that the General Electric Co. sufficiently cleaned the PCB contamination from the Hudson River. “Since the EPA has failed to hold GE accountable for restoring the river, New York is taking action to demand a full and complete remediation,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James want to void GE’s “certificate of completion” the EPA announced on April 11, taking the company off the hook from further dredging unless further studies showed more was needed. GE spent $1.7 billion over seven years dredging 72 percent of the PCBs known to be in the river, with about 120,000 pounds known to be still along the riverbed north of Albany. The EPA previously said it would be at least 50 years before it is safe to eat fish from the Hudson River on a regular basis. The EPA did not respond publicly to the lawsuit.
