After finding plastic of all shapes and sizes throughout West Endicott, some homeowners are saying they've had enough. A lawsuit was filed against National Pipe and Plastics after the plant relocated to 15 Mills Avenue. Now many residents say the pollution is unbearable. As Emily Lorsch reports, they're calling on the DEC to take action.

ENDICOTT, N.Y. --  The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against National Pipe and Plastics said the plant is putting both environmental and human health at risk.

There's plastic just about everywhere, according to Dennis Ede. "If you picked a spot right now going down 17C to the Apalachin Bridge, I'll show you the particulate."

And he did. He showed Time Warner Cable News what he was talking about and she found large and small pieces of plastic on the streets.

"It's not only the particulate that you see. It's the powder and the dust that you don't see that's flowing into these catch basins and so forth and the Nanticoke Creek. It flows into the aquifer, which is the water that you drink,” said Ede.

Ede said this kind of littering is hard to make right. "There's no mystery about this thing. The pollution exists. It's there you can't rake it, you can't vacuum it. How are you going to clean it up 10 years from now? Let alone now even."

And he said it's bigger than just this region. "Nanticoke Creek flows into the Susquehanna River which flows into Chesapeake Bay, which flows into our oceans."

National Pipe and Plastics could be doing so much more to protect people throughout the area, according to Ede and others. "They do nothing as a good corporate citizen to clean it up or make any effort to clean it up. They're not concerned about it,” Ede added.

That's why he is calling on the DEC to shut the plant down. A DEC representative came to the plant's location in Endicott Monday, but said he could not comment during this open investigation. He too let Ede show him what Ede sees as a major problem.

Time Warner Cable News reached out to National Pipe and Plastics’ attorney for comment and have not yet heard back.
