Judge Rules Public Hearings Must Precede ProcellaCOR Applications
New York State Supreme Court Justice, Robert Muller, issued a decision and judgement on Friday March 3, 2023 which:
a.) found that the Adirondack Park Agency’s decision to issue permits for the use of the chemical herbicide ProcellaCOR in Lake George without an adjudicatory hearing was arbitrary and capricious.
b.) has vacated the Lake George Park Commission’s April 14, 2022 decision (by a vote of 6-4) to proceed with the application of the chemical herbicide ProcellaCOR in Lake George.
The ruling means that any subsequent APA review of applications to apply ProcellaCOR in Lake George must be preceded by a hearing.
