“State AG Orders Full Cleanup of South Buffalo’s Battaglia Demolition.” State AG Orders Full
Cleanup of Battaglia Demolition, 25 Aug. 2022,
Battaglia Demolition in Buffalo, New York has been ordered by the state to have complete cleanup. The site was very harmful to the environment and its surroundings. Attorney General Letitia James said, “For years, dust, noise, odor, and other environmental assaults caused by the Battaglia facility plagued communities in South Buffalo, threatening residents’ health, wellbeing, and quality of life”. The site was polluting the air surrounding it and it was becoming very miserable for the people living near it. Although the site was closed down in 2018, its hazardous effects stayed behind, and therefore it is very important that the facility gets cleaned up.
The cleanup of facilities polluting our air and noise is very important. There are many sites like this that are harming our environment and it is necessary that we continue making sure they become restored. In the article, Letitia James states, “New Yorkers deserve clean, safe, and healthy environments to call home, and my office will always work to uphold those standards statewide.” This is a largely necessary part of cleaning up the environment because it is damaging the current living conditions of many people and it is contributing to issues in the environment like climate change.
