N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 71-2507: Pollution of tidal wetlands

§ 71-2507. Pollution of tidal wetlands.

Where any tidal wetlands are subject to pollution, the commissioner

and attorney general shall take all appropriate action to abate the

pollution. In addition, the commissioner may restrict or order cessation

of solid waste disposal, deep well disposal, or liquid waste disposal

where such is polluting a given area of tidal wetland. Where pesticides,

chemical products, or fertilizer residues are the polluting agents, the

commissioner shall confer with other appropriate public officials to

limit the use of such substances at their source; after appropriate

consultations, the commissioner may make such rules and regulations as

he deems necessary under section 3-0301 of the environmental

conservation law.
