New York state will sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after a regional federal official announced Thursday morning that General Electric had completed, at least for now, the terms of an agreement with the agency to dredge the Hudson River for contaminants.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James announced the lawsuit in a joint press release after the EPA issued its decision Thursday morning, saying the federal agency should require GE to continue its cleanup of the Hudson River.
