Biographical notes:

The Environmental Facilities Corporation was created by the Laws of 1970, Chapter 744. The corporation is a reconstitution and continuation of the New York State Pure Waters Authority created in 1967 (Chapter 722) to plan, finance, construct, and operate sewage treatment and solid waste disposal facilities. In 1995 (Chapter 83), the Corporation's mandate was expanded to include projects focused on the removal, disposal, and remediation of petroleum storage tanks and the remediation of the sites on which such tanks are housed.

The corporation is governed by a board of directors consisting of seven members: the commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation (chairman and chief executive officer); the commissioner of the Department of Health; the secretary of state; and four members appointed by the governor.
