THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 2001 The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday ordered General Electric to pay nearly a half a billion dollars to remove dangerous PCBs from the upper Hudson River in New York. The company is charged with contaminating the river over the past several decades. The company now has to dredge 2.65 million cubic yards of the river, starting in 2003, to remove the cancer-causing PCBs. The plan has drawn opposition from New York lawmakers. Rep. John Sweeney (R) said he would ask President Bush to overrule Whitman's decision, which came after a month of review. Get the Story:
