An offshoot of John Cronin's People Pipewatch, Albany Peoples Pipewatch was housed in the Department of Fine Arts of the State University of New York at Albany. Its volunteers monitored discharge pipes leading to the Hudson River and compared the resulting effluents to the allowable limits in the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. This series contains mostly NPDES Notices and drafts of the permits and are indexed by the company owning the discharge pipe.
