SAUGERTIES – A Saugerties man who has been prohibited from dumping any more construction debris on his property was cited with three violations of an Ulster County order and violation of town local laws.

Joseph Karolys, 35, of 1446 Route 212, was issued an appearance ticket returnable to town court later this month.

The town building department issued the citations after Saugerties Police spotted a number of tractor-trailer haulers dumping materials at 6 a.m. Friday morning on Karolys’ property. The vehicles were stopped by officers, confirming that the materials dumped had been transported from New York City. The drivers indicated they had left New York around 3 a.m. to bring the materials to Karolys’ property where they dumped the loads.

As a result of the investigation, the Saugerties Building Department with assistance of local police issued the three violations on Friday afternoon.
