Con Edison spills 1K gallons of oil into Bronx River, cleanup ongoing a week later
Roughly 1,000 gallons of oil spilled out of Con Edison equipment and into the Bronx River last week, and state officials said on Monday they were still scrambling to clean up the mess.
Con Edison and state officials deployed seven absorbent devices, known as booms, along the river, from McLean Avenue in Yonkers down to Fordham Road in the Bronx, including an area north of the New York Botanical Garden.Elena Conte, interim executive director of environmental nonprofit Bronx River Alliance, said crews took a “very aggressive” approach to cleaning up the river.
Conte said the oil was “not the most toxic that could be in the river" but noted her group remained concerned about the spill’s impact on the river, its ecology and wildlife.
