Christina Coulter reports for Hudson Valley One that Joe Karolys’ construction and demolition debris dump in Saugerties keeps getting deliveries from trucks despite an order from the state Department of Conservation to shut down. Neighbor Mike Ferraro claims about six trucks a day are coming into the site. “I have proof of what I see here. I have proof of what’s going on for anyone who wants to see it,” said Ferraro, who has a video camera on the site 24 hours a day. “By violating these state laws that you’re bluntly violating, why aren’t they hauling him off in handcuffs? Nobody knows what he’s doing, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.” A DEC stop-work order on July 2 said, that “the Department orders you to stop all earth-disturbing activities, excluding those activities necessary to install or maintain erosion and sediment control measures.” Karolys told Hudson Valley One that, “The DEC has asked me to start implementation of erosion and sediment control measures on my properties.... I have been bringing in aggregate materials to improve my site on Route 212 and will continue to improve the site conditions to mitigate dust and runoff … [and] do grading work.” DEC spokesperson Maureen Wren wrote on email this week that, “DEC is pursuing an enforcement action that will include penalties and site cleanup for the continuing violations at all three Karolys properties.” Read more about this story at Hudson Valley One.
