New York City Increases Penalties for Illegal Dumping
On March 3 the City Council of New York approved legislation designed to deter illegal dumping into the city's waterways. The measure increases the maximum penalty for illegally dumping such materials as dirt, sludge, acid, or any other "refuse matters" from $250 to $10,000 for a first violation and $20,000 for subsequent violations.
