Buffalo, NY – Inspections overseen by New York's Department of Environmental Conservation, Canadian authorities and Interpol were conducted earlier this week at the Peace Bridge and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.
The focus was on trucks carrying hazardous waste across the International border. The two day blitz targeted nearly four hundred trucks and one hundred and forty violations were identified.
This is the first time that these agencies have worked together to track such violations at the border.
