Why doesn DEC control activities in the vicinity directly around a site (the perimeter of the site), such as: new construction, property sales?
DEC does not have the type of land use control authority that would be required to regulate land use activities in areas adjacent to a site. This authority is vested with municipalities. A municipality would have to use its zoning powers to control land use directly around a site. When the use of surrounding property is necessary for the proper remediation of a site, the State would have to acquire that property or obtain an easement.
