Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary addressed the media during a site walk at the former Nova Dye & Print factory that burned Saturday at 313 Mill Street. The factory sits on the edge of the Mad River, which flows directly into the Naugatuck River. Standing next to O'Leary is United States Senator Richard Blumenthal who is looking into ways the Federal Government can assist in the massive clean-up of the contaminated brownfield site. Also attending the tour was Dan Esty, the commissioner for the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, whose immediate concern was how the fire affected the Mad River and the Naugatuck River.
Dan Esty, the commissioner for the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection will be in Waterbury late Wednesday afternoon to tour the site of Saturday's massive fire at the former Nova Dye & Print factory at 313 Mill Street. The factory sits on the edge of the Mad River, which flows directly into the Naugatuck River. Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary, who will tour the site with Esty and Waterbury Fire Chief Dave Martin, said there is concern that contaminants from the factory will make there way into the watershed, thus the visit from the state's champion of environmental protection.
