Hudson Falls trustees pass resolution opposing additional use at Fort Edward Clean Earth facility
Summary
The board unanimously authorized Village Attorney Bill Nikas to draft a letter of dissent to involved agencies stating Hudson Falls opposes an additional use proposed at the Clean Earth facility in Fort Edward; residents also raised permit and environmental justice concerns during public comment.
Mayor John Barton publicly stated that the Village of Hudson Falls opposes the proposed additional use at the Clean Earth facility in Fort Edward and the Board unanimously resolved to authorize Attorney Bill Nikas to draft and submit a letter of dissent to the appropriate agencies.
During public comment, resident Shannon Gillis said she had participated in a virtual meeting about the facility and raised concerns about permit completeness and environmental justice, stating in the minutes that the applicant 'don’t think they need to' hold a public participation meeting and that she had received the current air permit but could not locate the original petroleum permit application in Fort Edward records. The Board’s resolution directs the village attorney to communicate the Village’s opposition in writing to involved agencies; the minutes do not identify which agencies will receive the letter or the text of the dissent.
