After careful consideration, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has requested, and the New York State Thruway Authority has agreed, that DEC and Thruway will serve as co-lead agencies for the environmental review of the Pilgrim Transportation of New York, Inc.’s application currently pending before the Thruway Authority.  

As co-lead agencies, DEC and Thruway will ensure that a transparent comprehensive environmental review process is completed prior to any final State or Thruway approvals.
