Hurley hires firm to conduct landfill review

The contract includes hiring contractors for four tasks under a landfill characterization investigation that comes 11 months after the town was issued a state Department of Environmental Conservation order that cited concerns for seven residential wells near the site.

Town officials were issued a notice of violation on Jan. 6, with state officials reporting that the town had failed to collect data from groundwater, leachate, and gas collection systems.
