NEW YORK — A civic organization plans to sue New York City's largest utility company over the alleged illegal dumping of heated, toxic wastewater into a Hudson River estuary sanctuary.
The City Club of New York, along with Tom Fox, a representative of the club who serves on the Hudson River Park Advisory Council, plan to sue Con Edison for alleged"ongoing violations" of the federal Clean Water Act, according to a notice sent to the energy company earlier this month and obtained by ABC News.
"Nobody knew about this. I didn't know about this, and I've been involved with the park for 40 years, since the beginning," he told ABC News."I think that for whatever reason, it wasn't publicly acknowledged. Now that it is, we have a chance to correct the situation." "We are reviewing the letter in detail and have noted numerous inaccuracies," the spokesperson, Allan Drury, said."For instance, our permit has not expired and we have not exceeded our permitted temperature limits. We will address these and other issues with the appropriate parties."
