It started when citizen watchdog Victoria Quesada told Riverkeeper about automotive fluids draining from a junkyard in the town of Fleischmanns into waterways that feed the largest drinking water reservoir in New York City’s watershed, the Pepacton Reservoir. Junkyards can produce hazardous pollution, including Freon, asbestos, motor oil and antifreeze. It ended with a New York City Department of Environmental Protection inspection, and the removal of junked cars not only from that junkyard, but two others.
