New York City's proposal to dump contaminated dredge spoil six miles out in the Atlantic Ocean prompted a hearing on the possible environmental and economic effects. Test samples taken in 1981 showed unacceptable levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), while samples taken in 1983 were approved by the Army Corps of Engineers for dumping. Questions about the sampling procedures, siltation, and contamination of fish and beaches were raised. The 21 witnesses included local and state officials of the affected areas and representatives of the Corps, environmental groups, and the fishing industry. (DCK)
