The state Health Department has quietly settled a case with a privately operated laboratory that, due to a flaw in test procedures, may have underreported the level of pollutants at the Dewey Loeffel Landfill Superfund waste site in Nassau, Rensselaer County.
According to the agreement obtained by the Times Union under the Freedom of Information Law, Department of Health inspectors during visits to the lab in 2009, 2011 and 2013 found that it was using the wrong type of solvent to check the efficacy of their water quality tests.
