Committee urged to submit comments as DEC pursues biosolids testing rules
Summary
Members noted DEC is in rulemaking and accepting public comment; they discussed refreshing prior memorializations and submitting county comments rather than relying on a local moratorium that may be preempted.
Committee members and counsel said DEC is currently in rulemaking and accepting public comment, and that the county could collectively or individually submit comments to influence new testing rules. One member noted the public comment period is part of DEC's rulemaking obligations.
Members recalled earlier memorializations that urged New York to adopt practices used in Michigan and Maine; several suggested refreshing those memorializations as a path to press for stricter testing and oversight while legal questions about a local moratorium remain unresolved.
