On September 15, 2020, the City of Batavia Fire Department was contacted by Genesee County Dispatch for an odor of fuel in the area of the Genesee County County Courthouse at 1 West Main street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival, an oil sheen on the creek was observed by the responding City Fire crew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It appears that the substance was some form of fuel or oil in nature,” says Fire Chief Stefano Napolitano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napolitano says City Fire provided immediate hazardous materials mitigation efforts and was then assisted by Genesee County Office of Emergency Management Services\u00a0who provided absorbent and control booms that were deployed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional assistance was provided by the Stafford Fire Department, who provided a water tender to flush the storm sewer, and also the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third party environmental clean-up company was then contacted by the DEC to assist with further remediation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DEC is following-up with further investigation and enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
