PCB LAWSUITS

 

Lawsuit Against New York City Department of Education and School Construction Authority

New York Lawyers for the Public Interest representing New York Communities for Change filed a Notice of Intent to Sue the NYC Department of Education and School Construction Authority under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. New York Lawyers for the Public Interest filed litigation under a different law, the Toxic Substances Control Act, to compel the City to remove and replace all PCB-containing light fixtures in schools within the fastest timeframe possible. This new notice of intent to sue will be joined with that litigation.
