PETROCHEMICAL ODOR UPDATE

The Village met with the The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on November 25 to discuss progress towards addressing the Petrochemical Odor in Poquott. Asphalt Supply of Long Island completed the installation of a Blue Smoke Control System in August. This filtration system, now fully operational, was installed 3 years before regulation requirements in response to the Village’s concerns. The Village and DEC are continuing to work together with continued monitoring and assessments. Reporting remains key and the DEC has requesting that residents continue to report any incidents of petrochemical odors in Poquott as they occur. Reporting real time while the petrochemical odor is noted will help ongoing studies. Please use the reporting form below or e-mail both poquottvillage@villageofpoquott.com and r1dar@dec.ny.gov with the location and date/time of occurence. Residents may also call the DEC directly at 631-444-0205.
