  • DEC addresses PFAS contamination

    The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Thursday new actions and resources to protect and educate New Yorkers on the threat of human-made substance contamination.

    The DEC shared a 10-year progress report on efforts addressing PFAS and a study on the presence of PFAS in the landscape. Along with the report, it finalized wastewater treatment plant guidelines to protect drinking and other surface waters.

  • DEC addresses PFAS contamination

    The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Thursday new actions and resources to protect and educate New Yorkers on the threat of human-made substance contamination.

    The DEC shared a 10-year progress report on efforts addressing PFAS and a study on the presence of PFAS in the landscape. Along with the report, it finalized wastewater treatment plant guidelines to protect drinking and other surface waters.

  • DEC addresses PFAS contamination

    The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Thursday new actions and resources to protect and educate New Yorkers on the threat of human-made substance contamination.

    The DEC shared a 10-year progress report on efforts addressing PFAS and a study on the presence of PFAS in the landscape. Along with the report, it finalized wastewater treatment plant guidelines to protect drinking and other surface waters.

  • Hunting with heroes: Southern Indiana group supports veterans with unique event

    HIBERNIA – The sun wouldn’t rise for another four hours, but the kitchen inside of Hibernia Christian Church was buzzing with activity early Saturday morning.

    As eggs fried and coffee brewed, Thomas Jenkins pulled his wheelchair up to a table and flipped through photos of past hunts. For the last decade, volunteers with Hoosier Hunters Helping our Heroes have brought dozens of veterans to the Clark County community. Many of those veterans are disabled, struggling with physical ailments as well as the emotional scars that can stay with them well after leaving the battlefield.
