Anti-waste task force brings transfer station site issues to light in letter to EPA
After years of fighting to prevent the opening of the Southwest Brooklyn waste transfer station at 400 Bay 41st Street, local pols are trying to get the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on board.
To that end, the new Anti-Waste Task Force co-chaired by District Leaders Charles Ragusa and Nancy Tong recently detailed numerous violations they say are happening at the site in a letter to the EPA.
According to Assemblymember William Colton, who has spearheaded the fight against the station alongside Councilmember Mark Treyger, the multiple complaints brought before the task force are occurring in violation of the Clean Water Act.
