Brian Nearing is reporting at The Green Blog the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on Tue., Nov. 15, called plans to test the Hudson River for PCBs by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "inadequate," in the wake of the recently completed river dredging project. “EPA’s work is not done and its unwillingness to require General Electric to perform adequate sediment sampling undermines the five-year review process underway,” said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. New York is demanding the EPA take on more comprehensive sampling no later than the spring of 2017. Until that happens, Seggos said, the "EPA must not deem the remediation project complete." In a letter to EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck, Seggos urged the federal agency to add 1,400 additional samples to the study to determine if the river clean-up met the goals set out in the 2002 agreement between the EPA and General Electric. Seggos sent a similar letter to Enck in August. The EPA currently intends to collect 375 samples, fewer than 10 samples for every mile of the Hudson River dredged.
