ALBANY \u2014 The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation today announced proposed rules that would make New York the first state to require treatment of environmental contaminants in leachate at landfills.<\/p>\n
The proposal would build on New York\u2019s leadership in addressing PFAS and other harmful chemicals, strengthening protections for drinking water and reducing long-term risks to public health and the environment.<\/p>\n
