This subseries contains correspondence, notes, reports, and news clippings on hazardous waste sites throughout New York. It includes correspondence and notes documenting CEC activities relating to the sites. Public health assessments put out by the New York Department of Health (DOH), pertaining to the individual sites, are common features of this subseries. It also includes various assessments and reports from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The folder "New York State Hazardous Waste Site Remedial Program" contains some background information on DOH, DEC, and Department of Law actions relating to these sites, including a map of the nine DEC regions. Most regions contain folders with no individual sites listed on them. These can be considered general folders for that region, and contain materials for various sites that do not have individual folders. Each folder for an individual site generally contains a site name followed by the town or city the site is located in. Most of the sites had clearly indicated DEC region numbers, but the correct region was unclear for a few.
