Hurley finger-pointing continues, as do the pumpouts
There’s been a whirlwind of activity in the first few days of Mike Boms’ administration in Hurley. Whether it’s all good depends on whom you ask.
In the waning days of Melinda McKnight’s time as supervisor, Boms’ inquiries led to the overflow of the leachate collection system, resulting in a violation notice from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Boms said he reached out to the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency to resume pumping the leachate holding tanks and it was treated. The pumping had been handled by a private company, which then took it to the City of Kingston’s wastewater treatment plant.
