Two Federal Agencies Say GE Report Misled Public on PCBs Dredging in Hudson

摘要

The two federal agencies acting as official natural resource trustees for the Hudson River took the unusual step of publicly criticizing General Electric Co. for issuing misinformation on its superfund project to dredge polychlorinated biphenyls from the river and for misleading the public in a recent report. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Interior Department released a letter sent to GE, saying a recent report from the company "ignores significant natural resource injuries that have already been established by the trustees." A news release from the two agencies said the trustees anticipate that GE will be liable for restoring the damaged natural resources.
