General Electric Co. must resume dredging New York’s upper Hudson River for contaminants under a plan that aims to release fewer toxic-laden sediments into the water, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said.
Rules released today for the second phase of the cleanup require GE to be more efficient in the way it dredges the river bottom and to increase the amount of toxins removed, the agency said in a statement. GE said it would review the EPA’s decision.
