BIOCHAR PROPOSAL REJECTED BY THE DEC

Tracy Frisch, founder of CANN, receives award

Tracy Frisch was selected to receive the Peter Henner Award during the NYCLU Capital Region Awards Ceremony on November 14, 2024.  Tracy has worked tirelessly – mainly for free – to stop damaging projects in the Upper Hudson while supporting many community members from across the state.  

Some of her efforts went into opposing the development of a biochar incineration project in Moreau intent to burn sewage sludge and use the residue as fertilizer.  In a 9-page decision, the DEC soundly rejected that proposal, as reported in the Albany Times Union on November 13, 2024.  

All who value clean air can only applaud this decision and everything that Tracy Frisch has done to protect the health of the rest of us.  Thank you, Tracy!
