John Mason is reporting in the Register Star the Hudson Common Council is scheduled to vote Tue., Mar. 17, on whether to conduct a full-scale environmental review of a proposed sewer-line project. Public Works Superintendent Robert Perry maintains the project does not require a full review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Timothy O'Connor, of the South Bay Task Force, asserts the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations require the review. O’Connor is also critical of the lack of required public comment solicited for the project. Perry noted that there were two public participation meetings in 2009 and a public hearing in 2014. The city has been awarded $600,000 to create separate storm water and sanitary waste lines on Front Street between Columbia and State. The project is part of the city’s ongoing response to a mandate from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to have separate storm water and sewer lines throughout the city to prevent contamination of the Hudson River.
