State Is Holding Northrop Grumman, U.S. Navy Liable for Groundwater Contamination Cuomo says DEC will seek money to clear pollution from Long Island's aquifer and protect drinking water. By Alex Costello Levittown Patch (NY) August 3, 2016 Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced late Wednesday that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will seek financial compensation for damages to groundwater resources related to contamination from the Northrop Grumman State Superfund Site in Bethpage. DEC issued a Notice of Intent letter to Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Navy, naming them as “potentially responsible parties.” The letter formalizes the state’s plan to perform a Natural Resources Damage Assessment to quantify the damages to groundwater resources and obtain funding from these entities to support critical ecosystem restoration projects. “Protecting the health and safety of our residents is the top priority of our administration,” Cuomo said. “By continuing to hold Northrop Grumman and the Navy accountable for their actions, we are ensuring that the responsible parties clean up the groundwater contamination, while securing compensation to revitalize local ecosystems on Long Island.” … For the entire article, see http://patch.com/new-york/levittown-ny/state-holding-northrop-grumman-u-s-navy-liable-groundwater-contamination -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center 278-A Hope St., Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice/Fax: 650/961-8918 <lsiegel@cpeo.org> http://www.cpeo.org _______________________________________________ Military mailing list Military@lists.cpeo.org http://lists.cpeo.org/listinfo.cgi/military-cpeo.org | |
