Stony Point might soon adopt environmental cleanup law

The Stony Point Town Board might be ready to adopt the proposed local law, which would regulate how businesses conduct environmental cleanups, at its Tuesday meeting at 7 p.m. at Rho building in Letchworth Village.
The proposed law, the Environmental Protection and Abandoned Commercial Property Reclamation Law, would directly empower the Town Board to regulate business owners’ environmental cleanups.
During a series of public hearing that opened in April, representatives from Mirant, which is demolishing its Lovett Generating Station in Tomkins Cove, expressed the their concerns, arguing that the law targeted the plant and conflicted with state law.
The town has been circulating the draft of the law to different agencies to receive their input.
Dennis Lynch, the town’s special counsel, said if new input would not require the town to change the draft, the Town Board might move to adopt the proposal Tuesday.
