MONROE – United Monroe is threatening
to take legal action against the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The issue is the DEC’s granting of lead agency status to the village
in the review of the proposed annexation of 507 acres of land in the Town
of Monroe.
Emily Convers, the president and founder of United Monroe, said leadership in KJ has a poor track record when dealing with environmental issues.
“Both in their poultry processing plant and the sewage treatment plant, which has been operating without a permit since the summer of 2014 and without a gate for solid waste, which is atrocious, because this is the effluent that is going into the Ramapo River and as many people are aware, the Ramapo River provides drinking water for much of Rockland and northern New Jersey,” she said.
Convers would not say what form any legal action might take other than to say her group may file an Article 78 challenge to the DEC’s decision.
