State officials say it will cost more than $20 million to clean up a hazardous waste site in the Schenectady County.
The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports that the Department of Environmental Conservation has released details of the project proposed for the property on Freemans Bridge Road in the town of Glenville, on the Mohawk River 15 miles northwest of Albany, and that cleaning up the former Kenco Chemical Co. site will cost an estimated $20.5 million, with the money coming from the state Superfund.
The nearly 1-acre site stored chemicals (including a known carcinogen) from the mid-1960s through the 90s.
