About NYSDEC
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has one of the country's most aggressive MGP site investigation and remediation programs. Since the problems associated with former MGP sites were identified, NYSDEC has been working with utilities across the state to identify and remedy the issues. This effort has resulted in approximately 200 sites identified for action.
