Lights Out Norlite and its members said that it was long past time for DEC to amend the expired permit for the Norlite Hazardous Waste Incinerator to require the company to treat the toxic ash from its pollution control equipment as hazardous waste.

That exemption was ended three years ago by the federal and state environmental agencies but DEC failed to enforce the change. DEC held a hearing Monday night, November 20th, at the Cohoes Senior Citizen Center, to receive public comment after Norlite objected. Speakers at the press conference were Dr. David Carpenter, Ed Sokol, and Chris Sevinsky. Dave Public acted as moderator. (full news conference)
